He just walked in and took them all, and they didn't know *what* the hell was going on. Give me a break. But, anyway, ignoring that, saying that yes, he could actually *STEEL* employees (making it *only* Apple's fault...), Jobs, when he walked off to do NeXT, *STOLE* Macintosh developers from Apple. I guess some habits are hard to break. Looks like that WonderMachine everybody is drooling over is as morally bankrupt as the Macintosh. Geez. Technology reaches the masses. Roger
