Sorry Bloodline but i don't agree that Jobs turned around and single handedly save Apple from oblivion. I think the success of the imac was just luck and nothing else. Steve Jobs did nothing. He especially didn't predict that consumers would go crazy for aesthetics over function like people claim he did.

Sorry but Apple really gets up my tickler...   ;)
He terminated all of Apple's multitude of undifferentiated product lines, he replaced them with a pretty but simple (plug in and go) one size fits all computer, he killed off MacOS Classic development and replaced it with NeXTStep. Brought in Tim Cook to sort out Apple's production and supply lines, he pushed Apple into retail and he realised that The desktop market was basically dead... Moving Apple to mobile devices and consumer electronics, with a coherent Eco system.

Piss you off or not, these were bold moves for a nearly bankrupt computer company ;)

@ChuckT

People throw this crap around all the time, Apple is a small blip on Foxconn's client list... This is not an Apple problem this is an industry problem, which needs to be sorted, but won't be fixed as long as we in the rich nations demand ever cheaper computers...

Have a look inside your Amiga, you'll find Foxconn components... Have fun :)
