Steve Jobs -- Restoring Apple's shine through tenacity and a sense of discipline. via Electronic Buyer's Guide >The turnaround, analysts say, is directly related to Jobs' inability to settle for less than the best-which has earned him a reputation for being an intimidating boss-and his panache in making quick decisions. "One of his strengths is his intolerance of incompetence," said Richard Doherty, director of research at the Envisioneering Group Inc., Seaford, N.Y. "He's also the fastest decision-maker I've ever met. "In business you have to make decisions, and you only have to be right 50% of the time," Doherty said. "Steve Jobs [makes those decisions], and he's right more than 50% of the time. That's why he's successful."< >Despite the challenges he faces, analysts are confident Jobs will succeed, particularly in dealing with suppliers. When new components come out, for example, Jobs typically calls the top executives of those companies to learn more about the devices, according to Doherty. "He wants to make sure the company can survive and wants to deliver the tools his customers need," Doherty said. "He can call companies like Motorola or IBM and talk to them right away. There are few executives in the OEM space that have the clout Jobs does."< techweb.com

With the end of this great year drawing nigh, I thought it might be nice to get some perspective on where we are. Here's an excerpt from a recent post: Well, I just can't imagine those PC Data figures being any better than they were. #1 for the month, high average selling price, 10% market share, Apple back in the top five. Now, a post from 1996: https://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=153177 The more things change.... Happy Holidays, all. Mark PS AAPL IN '99!
