Yeah, I agree with you that Jobs is doing a great job right now. I just
like to look into the history of a company. They've been a comic strip
and like I said in my other reply to Matt, I don't really think they're
going out of business or anything. I just think that the HISTORY of
mismanagement is a big part of the reason people don't take them
seriously. In the 90s they followed up several record-breaking quarters
with several of their biggest losses. They have been consistently
inconsistent, especially when you compare them to Microsoft (which is
what we started out doing here, right?). They would fall on hard times
and people would say, "look at them; they were doing so well until [add
any of the mgt. problems here]."
Look, my whole point is that I smile at them and say, "aww isn't that a
cute little computer" just like (mostly) everyone else. I NEVER said
that they don't make good, high quality stuff or that nobody likes Macs-
just that they're fighting an uphill battle to get any respect and that
it is their own fault. That's all.
