guy who can do the job right. Why should people believe that Jobs wasn't
the guy then, but he is now and if he decides again that he's not, what
nut will they go out and find next...? It's fairly comical.
My point isn't really to say that I think they're going to go out of
business or anything silly like that, but to suggest that people see the
company as sort of a cartoon. They look at it (right or wrong) as some
little kid who keeps trying to compete with the bigger kids. On the
whole though, I don't think they're taken very seriously-especially by
businesses. I believe, once again whether it's correct or not, that most
people just see them as big powerful Etch-a-scetches and I don't think
they've done much if anything to change that view.

You're worried they are one day going to be bankrupt? This is a company
will
billions in cash, no debt, and profitable. I only wish I could mismanage
my
company so well.
