I'm not trying to say that Mr. Jobs is a saint, and by no means is he the
demigod many people purport him to be.  True, Apple was and always has been
a business, but it's the type of business.  Pre-Sculley Apple was more relaxed,
a quasi-family atmosphere.  Post-Sculley Apple is identical to really any other
company.  I know that for any business to stay in business long it has to act
like a business.  This fact is indsiputable.  All I'm trying to say is that
without people like Jobs around every so often, the computer world would be
a stale and boring place indeed.

I apologize if my comment about Jobs came out as something other than it was
intended to be.
