Comparing two photos is more like a geometric projection. Several years photos paint a very accurate picture. That coupled with Jobs irrational behavior lately only adds to the mix. And leads to a conclusion.

When Jobs came back, he stopped this /nonsense/. This was someone's opinion on CSMA. It seems an interesting take or troll. "In a year or two, they won't even be selling Macs. The iPhone made it's splash and now newer and better competing products are coming on line. The iPod market is saturated. The iPad is a faddish failure that only failures buy with newer and better products on the near horizon. The mini is a toy. Apple TV is an outright failure - a hobby according to Jobs. The smart money left Apple years ago. The rats are now starting to jump ship. Only the Freaks are left - but they won't be able to sustain Apple."

Of course, a convenient link is nonexistent, and you only have my word for it. Ah, here's something. <http://www.google.com/finance/stockscreener#c0=MarketCap&c1=PE&c2=Divide ndYield&c3=Price52WeekPercChange®ion=us§or=AllSectors&sort=MarketC ap&sortOrder=1> They must be doing something right. > But you can't use the short lived experience in the 1990s as a yardstick. Mr. Jobs could certainly use that experience as a yardstick. Although he wasn't there at the time, he had to salvage the aftermath. Apple, Inc. is a *hardware company* that just happens to produce outstanding software that sells their hardware. He's unique. They're unique. IMO. leo
