So when was that? If I remember correctly the AppleII was basically dead
before
the PCs even got a firm footage (not to say that it is really dead, but
you know).
Jobs is a great PR type guy who can handle people and has a certain
charisma that
seems hard to resist by what I read. Still I cannot comply in saying
that he did
some major ass saving.Normally he stirred the shit so long till it hit
the fan and
then looked to correct the mess.
