NIGHT STALKER
. . . this is what happens when two MAJOR LEAGUE companies, invest baucoups development capital in partnership with a MINOR LEAGUE company like Apple.
Jobs comes back from his utter failure at NEXt and launches Operation Barbarossa against the Clone makers, the PowerPC consortium and CHRP, like Hitl . . . erm . . . Napole . . . ummm . . . some tin pot dictator or other!
So out went the Apple based Clones AND the Common Hardware Reference Platform, then in came the iCandy! Jobs took full credit for the iMac that actually saved the company and was developed long before his invasi . . . erm . . . return . . . to Apple.
Note: this is NOT Steve Bashing OR Apple Bashing, it's egregious exaggeration in trying to make a point. PowerPC and CHRP had Apple back on the road into the mainstream. Whether this strategy would have been profitable for them in the long run is open to debate. CHRP may, or may not, have been successful in its bid to overthrow the WinTel Hegemony's enormous advantage. Steve Jobs return HAS been successful, but Apple remains a Minor League "Computer Company" with a tremendous cash cow in the iCandy divisions. Yet the WinTel Hegemony remains undefeated and Apple is now allied with Intel . . . go figure!
