<excerpt><color><param>0000,00D7,0000</param> Since then, nearly
everything has changed: First, Steve Jobs completed the take-over of
Apple. Whereas others would spend hundreds of millions acquire a large
stake in Apple, then force a board meeting to discuss a hostile
take-over, Steve Jobs was paid $400 million, _sold_ all his shares but
one, got the board to fire the president, then fired the board and
replaced most of Apple's high level management with newcomers or old
colleagues from NeXT.
Whereas others would concentrate on building existing business
relationships and focusing on a common enemy, Steve moved to embrace
Microsoft and dealt a body blow to Power Computing, IBM, and Motorola
by eliminating cloning; this latter action inspired such quotes as "Our
Mac development plans have been completely overhauled now that Jobs is
back," and "Steve's decisive action has finally eliminated the
uncertainty regarding Apple's future."
Whereas Power Computing was ready to ship G3s last August, and had an
on-line store for far longer than that, Steve didn't introduce the
Power Mac G3 until November, when he rolled out Apple's own online
store as though it had never been done before.
While Intel was busy stressing the multi-media capabilities of its new
CPUs, Steve pioneered the art of using mostly dead spokespeople, some
technophobes, to market a computer brand, and did it with a slogan that
many argued was grammatically incorrect. His personal touch of
industrial design inspired a Macintosh for the education market that
was a scale model of his lower left wisdom tooth, and more recently, a
$1299 beanbag-shaped vacuum cleaner designed for the internet.
