Gee, John. How's your short position holding out? Fellow Apple-longs, I think we're on the brink of seeing a fifty-two year old man cry. :-( Andrew

Mr. Jobs sucks, that was demonstrated years ago when he blew the chance to make Apple great by allowing his OS to be open...a little too greedy.....I wonder if he'll acceps CEO position..or does he realize AAPL will fade, fade ,fade ..... Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was mostly John Sculley and the management at the time who decided to keep the Mac a closed standard. I thought Jobs had already been thrown out by then. This is not to say Jobs wouldn't or didn't take the same position at the time, but for some reason I thought this was considered a Sculley regime decision after Jobs was gone. Oh, and by the way, you'd better short that AAPL! If it's going to fade, fade, fade, then you want to be right there to profit from it! Heh, good luck.

blame that on Jean-Louis Gassee... and John Sculley. Jobs left Apple in 1985. had Jobs stayed at Apple, today we would still be 10 years ahead of the competition in software and hardware, we would have been using a rock solid unix-based OS, object-oriented, since 1990 probably. ___ Mr. Jobs sucks, that was demonstrated years ago when he blew the chance to make Apple great by allowing his OS to be open...a little too greedy.....I wonder if he'll acceps CEO position..or does he realize AAPL will fade, fade,fade .....
