      Sorry to point out the obvious flaw in your attack on Apple, but Mr. Jobs was not with Apple in the 90s, so he could not be held liable for the company's failing. Apple fell because the board gave him the boot, in 1985. Apple went on for the next 12 years, under numerous visionless CEOs, to aimlessly flail and wither away, without direction, innovation or market objective. With their last breath, in 1997, Apple allowed Mr. Jobs and his company, NeXT, Inc., to "buy out" Apple. Apple then experienced its meteoric resurrection by revamping the NeXT operating system to become Mac OS X, and coming out with the iMac, which was a savior product for the company. Without Mr. Jobs' innovation, vision, and insistance on quality and user-friendly products, the company whithered.

      And the rest, as they say, is history.
