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.
