Will we see the "start-up" Steve on 10/18 ? As described in the just released story on SJ's handling of AAPL's recovery - "The 2nd Coming of SJ" : ---- " Apple needed some kind of shake-up. It was filled with people who had virtually ignored and ultimately outlasted three CEOs as they did their own things. "I don't know if the previous CEOs at Apple had any effect on that company," says John Warnock of Adobe, which is Apple's biggest software provider. "We would have meetings with all those CEOs and nothing would happen, no traction, unless the group responsible went for the idea. The energy just dissipated into the organization, where the first person capable to make a decision is the one who makes it. But with Steve, he comes in with a very strong will and you sign up or get out of the way. You have to run Apple that way -- very direct, very forceful. You can't do it casually. When Steve attacks a problem, he attacks it with a vengeance. I think he mellowed during the Next years and he's not so mellow anymore." salon.com ---- From the above, SJ's self-described 4 Q sales "speed-bump" shouldn't be too much of a problem to fix. However you can't sell'em unless you tell'em . Jim K
