Me:I still think the "clone killing" was the wrong decision. rhetOric: I think this is a contradiction of your earlier statement that you believe Apple may have turned the corner. Killing the clones and turning a profit were part of the same game plan. Not at all. Even while Apple can be overall moving in the right direction this does not stop them from making the occasional mistake. The clone decision was one of them. I don't know how familiar you are with the NeXT story, but Jobs made the very same mistakes with the black cube as with the original Mac. He showed and proved that he was so arrogant that he could learn nothing from his past experiences. I have no wish to discuss NeXT further, but I'd suggest you get acquainted with the NeXT story to see how wrong (at times) can Jobs be. Jobs is not even 1/10th as good a salesman as Gates, something that can easily be attested by their fortunes and market prowess. Jobs strengths lay elsewhere: guts, vision, leadership.
