In his letter (1282@vax135.UUCP) Nabi Rafie seems to be unable to decide whether
the businessmen that run Apple are doing the right thing, or are being 
"eggheads" and flakes.  First he smashes Apple's "new directors" for initiating
the research and development that went into the Lisa.  Has he forgotten that
the Lisa was Steve Jobs dream. 

Then he congratulates five other people, whom he does not mention, for having
the vision to create the macintosh. Yet we must remember that had it not been  
for the Lisa, the mac would be nowhere.

To sum up his letter he says "All in all, Apple seems to be swinging back into 
shape again ...". But in his letter he told us how much a company like Apple 
needed those people with a dream in order to create superior products.
The Apple which is now swinging back into shape is doing so without those
visionaries.
