I wouldn't read too much into Del's contribution to Apple good or bad, however, the policies and processes in place prior to failure are more important than those in place during failure. At least in terms of the all-important, fix blame stage of development.

Jerry,

>>Silly boys, did either of you actually research this gospel?
Take a look at the general timeline provided at:

inprise.com

There you will see that Yocam left Apple no later than the 90-92 timeframe (after AAPL had move form 15 to over 50), it was only during 93 that Apple's real troubles began (manifested in a halving of share price). <<

First of all, why would you post a link that has absolutely no record of your claim that Dilbert left AAPL in the 90-92 time frame?? Oh well, guess I'm just too silly to understand your investment wisdom. But even IF you are right, you actually make the point. When a disastrous COO puts disastrous plans into effect, we generally don't know they are disastrous for a year or two. Example: INPR. So the fact that AAPL stock price was slashed the next year is consistent with yet another group of dumb decisions by our very own Dilbert.

Still silly,

Cube
