Hi Dennis BW does have some good sources - like the BOD? News of their Tuesday meeting to discuss "CEO or go" and past BOD negotiations with S. Jobs had to come from inside AAPL's zeck chambers . Cannavino is an outsider to AAPL folks but familiar to the NeXT'uns who now run AAPL : messages.yahoo.com@m2.yahoo.com Tuesday's BOD meeting will probably take more than one chapter in Jobs' memoirs. Should be a real poker game with Pixar , Academy Awards, Disney , Cannavino , 3/17/98 IBM stamp of approval , 7/97 14 5/8th sacrifice sale , NeXT loyalists , Amelio's book and 17,000,000 shares , all as WILD cards flying around the room . 3/25/98 should be a day for some interesting "rumors". Thanks for the relevant article, Jim K.

Dennis, Amelio leaves no doubt Tuesday will be interesting His book implicates Tuesday's poker players of intrigue : " Ellison conspired too: According to Amelio, Jobs wasn't the only high-tech titan who conspired in his undoing. He says Oracle Corp. founder Larry Ellison played a role, too. Amelio writes that Ellison's much publicized effort to form an investor's group to take over Apple was a fantasy, aimed at shaking confidence in Apple's management and, thus, paving the way for Jobs' return as the company's savior. From the book's introduction to its epilogue, it's Jobs who comes in for Amelio's harshest words. "He drove himself to work, just as I had done...but in the largest, most expensive Mercedes Benz, the S600; faced with the same problem of finding places to park, he solved it by using spaces reserved for the handicapped... Jobs' talent - displace CEO "...And he took credit for the brilliant new products, for creating a program to market Apple products directly to users over the Internet, and for many other achievements that had all been initiated without his input - all started long before he took over... "...I predict Steve will one day conquer Hollywood as dramatically as he conquered Silicon Valley. Michael Eisner, watch out; Steve Jobs now has a new talent on his resume: displacing the CEO. The Walt Disney Company could be next." Maybe Amelio rushed his book out knowing Tuesday is "CEO or go" day and he wants to save Minnie Mouse ? Regards, Jim K. Yo quiero uno CEO www5.zdnet.com
