Dear soup: Thank you very much for this latest news. I was beginning to think AAPl had screwed up largely. They certainly can't afford what little software support they have. Have you ever noticed that there is not one stock market real time program that runs on the Mac Platform? Thanks again, JF Dowd

I don't find the story credible. My guess would go like this: Surely Campbell told Jobs in advance that he was discontinuing Intuit Mac, and Jobs could have headed it off by telling Campbell the secret Apple plans then. Probably Jobs tried to head it off but didn't offer enough, so the plan had been for Campbell to leave the Board. Then Jobs must have realized he had to try harder. Jobs must have bought Campbell off after the fact, sweetening the pot for Campbell with promises of bundling, and after coming to an agreement about Intuit, Campbell had to stay on the board. Just my attempt at reconstruction, of course. Linda
