yeah, but not for years. but wasn't it published during his tenure?

sorry i dragged this out for so many iterations. i do not give a hang for sculley (whether he was the guy who just led the firm while it made newton, or whether he personally hand-carved each one out of iron ore and crude oil) because he took apple way off course and almost killed it.

going back to lurking now. sorry for the disturbance.
