And I disagree that that was the case. Ford, Edison, Westinghouse, Morgan, etc. were none of them like todays MBA-driven businessmen, whose only goal is to add $0.02 to the stock price, no matter what the means used, and no matter the effects that doing so will have on their employees or their customers. They were FAR more like Feuerstein than Jobs.

I would like you to come up with a MODERN example of malfeasance on the part of Jobs that is not 30 years old. You can use the back dating of the stock options if you like, but be aware that that whole thing has been re-thought and is no longer being considered as unethical as it was and the GAAP rules change that made it so, are being changed back. Consider also that Jobs did not grant himself the options and in fact recused himself from the board meetings where the decision was made. Also be aware that Jobs has taken only $1 in salary as CEO of Apple since his return in 1997. So, Wonder Warthog, please, SHOW US THIS REPREHENSIBLE CONDUCT you claim. Make it relevant.. i.e. modern

Can't. Not because they don't exist (the leopard does NOT change his spots), but because I no longer follow the ins and outs of the personal computer business. Jobs and Apple are simply no longer relevant to what I need and/or want to do. The fact that Jobs is "working for fun" these days still doesn't override his fundamental dishonesty and past behavior.
