Don't forget lil ol' Jack Tramael.  He pulled Commodore out back when
they were going bankrupt in the calculator business.  First chapter
of "Presenting the Atari ST" describes Jack's Ups and Downs.  When
he "bought" Atari, it was already bankrupt.

Actually, Tramael is closer to an industry Henry Ford in Ford Co's early
days.  But in the sense that Iacocca looked at an ailing industry and
came up with the "prescription" of small, compact, affordable (mileage-wise)
cars in spite of a U.S. auto-maker slant toward BIG, Powerful, Gas-Guzzling
cars, the Tramael approach isn't that much different.
