MArgo, it just goes to show you that you can have the best technology but if you have lousy management, the technology can easily vanish like dry ice. I know someone who went to UCLA's business school and they use Apple as a case scenario of a business run into the ground due to poor management. Anyone can tell you that Apple had the opportunity back in the late 80's early 90's to let cloner's use their OS. Had apple done so, I believe MSFT would be a quarter of the company they are today. But because of a stupid bunch of egomaniacs playing power games, Apple has become neutered and is coming close to becoming decapitated. They may live on under another name and the Os may survive, but Apple as a company looks like it may not be around in a couple of years. Apple's last shot, in my opinion, is the hope that Unity(Rhapsody) changes the way people on MACs and WIndows compute. If Apple can demonstrate Rhapsody as a superior OS to W95 and more importantly NT, Apple will become the miracle comeback story since IBM. Keep your fingers crossed and may the unfortunate window users soon taste the sweetness of a vine ripened Apple OS on their Intel machines.
