I suspect that Jobs will try to claim that he was not a company officer at
Apple at the time he committed the alleged infractions, since he had no
day-to-day operating responsibilities, accoring to what he says.
Is the title 'Chairman of the Board' make one a 'real' company officer
in absense of responsibilities?  (Of course, he was a 'real' company officer
until June or so, if that has any bearing on the case)

He's a 'real' company officer until his resignation has been voted on
and accepted by the board of directors, regardless of whether or not
he is doing any work.
