C'mon; you know as well as I do that I can neither confirm nor deny 
anything that John Sculley is reputed to have said!  I've met the man a 
grand total of one time in my entire life!

Besides, even when some of our management DOES say something like "we're 
doing this," in very broad, vague kinds of terms, it's certainly putting 
one's career on the line to say anything more about it (just ask David 
Ramsey).
