According to many economists, Gilbert Amelio is the savior of businesses in trouble. With this in mind, the board of directors at Apple decided to appoint Gil Amelio to the board after reporting another huge loss in 1994. At the time, Michael Spindler was the head of Apple, and sales in every division. The board accepted Spindler's resignation and appointed Gil Amelio to the helm of Apple.

"Apple is still a dying company"
that's sort of funny claim to do. they have 4-5 BILLION in bank, and doing 100-300 million PROFITS every quarter. you heard right. and "market share" is measured by sold computers in quarter(s). talk about _installed base_. apple is very alive, doing better than *ever*, making HUGE profits, creating new, GREAT products...
before OS X i didn't really care about apple at all, but when I heard about OS X being BSD based (and saw it in action) i decided to get one for me. and I love it. it will be very unlikely that I will get a single PC machine anymore. of course OS X & Macs have their own problems and annoyances (yes, nothing is perfect) but i've never seen as good products as apple's are, in the pc world. everything just works, has been designer VERY well (just compare ibooks & powerbooks to pc laptops. sigh, how hard it can be to do a decent laptop design?! writing this now from IBM's top business line laptop but I'd choose my iBook for my work computer any time).
