Hi, Mark and all ~
From what I have read (New York Times) this is part of the
difficulty. Steve Jobs has such an overpowering personality that
other talent at Apple is NOT poised to be such. They are folks who by
definition fit in with a powerful leader and corporate structure
would have

This may be good fortune for Apple. Hear me out before you want to
lynch-mob me. This situation actually may help Apple out by giving
another person the chance to step up and become recognized before Jobs
does retire. This probably will get Apple consumers and investors used
to the Idea of anothe

dispensable. If we are lucky we have balanced our job and home life to ease the
transition from work to retirement. I hope Mr Jobs ' health improves so he can
stay on. He is obviously not ready to retire.

I'm pretty sure Jobs wont retire soon unless his health deteriorates,
because he has a vision of what Apple is and loves what he does. But
this puts idea into peoples' heads that eventually he is not going to
be there and that Apple will have to persist without him at some point
which is good for

The logical ( ? ) interim CEO of course would be Woz !
If Apple means anything to anyone but Steve it should be Woz
Jobs left (was pushed out of) Apple in the mid 80's. Apple fell into
dire straights in the mid 90's. I think that Apple reached it's all
time high in 92. Jobs may have saved the company from oblivion in
'97, but keep in mind several CEOs came and left Apple in the interim

What dragged Apple down was a number of things and it occurred over a
period of time
1) Way too many desktop models (II, LC. Performa, Quadra, Centris,
Work Stations)
2) Too many Powerbook models
3) The Newton (good concept though!) and the MacTV (gotta get one)
4) There was still tech support fo
Woz became an educator. Seems like that's where his heart was, rather
than in the magically innovative side.

I'm looking at the stock history. I don't really think they saw "good
times" while he was gone, and in fact it looks like stock had little
success until a bit of good times in 99. The computers that Apple
created while the other CEOs were coming and going were boring beige
pizza boxes. I know b
As Jobs put it "Apple lost focus on who Apple was". Weather Apple can
exist after Jobs is not the question here. What the question is, is
"do people, mostly people at Apple, including Jobs himself believe
that Apple can exist after he is gone". It's not weather apple can
exist. It's weather peo
If that's the case, then why was Steve hired back?
