There seems very little Apple can do now to pull itself out of the nose
dive finality of its own death. But there are a few things it can do to
remake itself so that some spark of it can be rekindled. If I had a chance
to talk to the suits working the strings over there, this is probably what
i would be saying.

Software/OS--Fuck the hardware shit already. Forget it, its done you lost.
Instead work on the best OS possible. With out having to pay for the
overhaed on the rotting Trex corpse apple calls a Hardware Divison there
should be plenty of money to hunker down and come out with something hot
that will run on MANY MANY major platforms. Early reports of os8 sound
promising.. Also...FUCK MAKING PRINTERS. Are you insane??Its like an Arab
trying to sell sand to his neighbor.

Drop the Guy Guy--There was a time when Guy's evangelical patter was
usefull, in fact damn right interesting. Now its a bit like a ragged Aids
infested whore barking that she will rock your world for a buck. Give up
the PIE IN THE SKY crap and adopt a WE GOT OUR NOSES TO THE GRIND STONE SO
WE REALY CANT SPEND TIME MAKING NICE PR FOR YOUR EGO. If your user base is
that gullable, sell them cars or land in florida swamps.

Make NIce with the Software Companies--It would only help you more if you
worked with software companies rather than trying to shove Guy down thier
throats. The more folks you get developing for your new OS's the better.
Every Quake and MS Office97 you can get to run on your OS is going to mean
that many more potential customers.

World Domination..One Step At A Time--that means hiring the best and
brightest and letting them carry the vision with them, not sqaushing thier
egos (ya hearing this steve). they will spread it to the coleges and he
education systems and into the offices and down to the internet cafes.
Good products proliferate. Have you ever seen how fast juarez copies of
the newest Photoshops spread? In this way you have a thousand Gu's and
can give the old one his walking papers.

Look Around --Yea, we all know Apple is suppose to be THE BEST OS and etc
etc etc, but every once in a while look around at what else is selling in
the market place that is taking a bit out of your sales figures. Do people
want this stuff? If so how can you give it to them and take the money out
of the other fellas pockets? Folks stoped buying apple and started using
Gatesware for a reason. Find out why and givem What they want, only with
style.

Inshort, Get off your rumps and get down to it, cause by my clock you have
about a year left to breath, then its lights our for the company that
sparked the revolution. And that would be sad.
