David,

If the news will be so great why doesn't Steve Jobs sign on and
take his share options at an exercies price equal to the current
market price.


From what you said above, I think you don't know the situation.
First, if you have read proxy, you would notice that all executives
were ex-NeXT employees. Who can control this situation besides Jobs?

Second, even Jobs wants the deal, he needs completely willingness
from shareholders. Either approve 17m shares or disapprove it will
be determined by 4/22. After approval, then it will be his turn to
accept or not. Therefore, he doesn't need to accept the deal before
votes.

Third, it's just opposite of what you think - he wants to prove his
Q2 will win the final approval for such shares. The shareholders not
only appreciate him on the good job done for Q2, but also are willingly
support this generous package. He will win beautifully and nobody
will critize even from Dr. Gil.
