Typo. They keys are right next to each other and all. Sorry about that.
Why did you say: he was forcibly removed from his position and couldn't set anything up. ? Did you mean Apple couldn't set anything up, or Jobs couldn't set anything up?
I thought the reference about being forcibly removed made it obvious. Sorry for the confusion.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The fact that he's taking a significant leave of absence makes me think maybe his doctors said "you have a one in X chance of beating this thing". Again, I really want to be wrong.
Are you kidding? You think things are so bad that it could be fatal yet he's just hangin' out at home? If something's that close to being fatal a person get's hospitalized. Second this isn't a significant amount of time off. Perfectly healthy 53 year olds with millions of dollars in the bank take sabbaticals all the time.

How Steve was outed in the 80's is far different then how he would leave if he had to leave today. In the 80's, he was forcibly removed from his position and couldn't set anything up. Today? Apple has people like Schiller, Ive and Cook - all more then capable - to run things. //edit: Fixed the dates. Thanks for pointing it out. And yes, I did typo twice ><
Schiller and Ive were both there during the dark days. Ive designed the Newton and the Performa. The thing about Jobs is he can marshall talent in a way that really drives technical staff nuts at the time, but delights them with the results. Other boards give the technical people their heads, and then you end up with OpenDoc and Taligent. God knows who can replace that. Gassée couldn't.
Were they at Apple in the same positions as they are in today?

Jobs. I thought the reference about being forcibly removed made it obvious. Sorry for the confusion.
After several months of being sidelined at Apple, Jobs resigned on Friday, September 13, 1985. He told the board he was leaving to set up a new computer company, and that he would be taking several Apple employees from the SuperMicro division with him. He also told the board that his new company would not compete with Apple and might even consider licensing its designs back to them to market under the Macintosh brand.
Jobs was joined by former Apple employees Bud Tribble, George Crow, Rich Page, Susan Barnes, Susan Kare, and Dan'l Lewin

Wasn't NeXT set up by Steve Jobs in 1985, around the time he was removed from Apple? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeXT#1985.E2.80.931986:_Foundin...

Mind explaining it in some words of your own instead of jumping around the bush?

While your ability to quote Wikipedia is quite astute, you have lost me when I try to figure out what you're trying to say through said quoting. Mind explaining it in some words of your own instead of jumping around the bush?

If you're that rich, you don't go to the hospital, the hospital comes to you.

Honest question for you: Were you nitpicking for the hell of it, or honestly confused as to what I meant?
