The man is no longer at Lotus.  He left the company he founded after tiring of
the day-to-day business decisions of a firmly entrenched company.  Kapor now
works on his new company, On Technology(ies?).

The head honcho at Lotus now is Jim Manzi, whose business experience Kapor
sought in starting up Lotus.  If you want to point fingers, point them at
Mr Manzi.
