Apple Will Flourish With or Without Steve Jobs

Seems to me that I remember a Jobs-less Apple once before. The results were an $8/share company that wrote increasingly bad operating systems. They lost significant market share and, eventually, some of their most faithful developers didn't want to work on Apple applications anymore. The less than visionary bean counters who took control of the company tried licensing hardware clones instead of making things people actually wanted, so no surprise people began migrating away from Apple as fast as they could. While I'd like to share your faith, there is no obvious heir apparent at Apple. Without that, I remain very guardedly long.
