Definitely not! But I couldn't help having a bit of fun seeing some similar strands in the stories.
Apple (yes, even the name suggests something going way back) is the minority player, but with a devoted following. Even Apple's survival as a minority player (albeit with some energy behind it) is remarkable, looking back over its history of division and internal strife. But then Steve returned and everything changed...
...which gets people anxious about what will happen when Steve inevitably (because he is not the Messiah) clears the scene. Would they miss him? Well they can't say that they won't, but they have to play down the problem of what happens next if he does...I liked this quote...
"But I see Apple after Jobs as Ford after Henry Ford," Gottheil said. "The acolytes have incorporated the main teachings of Jobs. He's created a process and a culture that will continue."
All very familiar?
