ol' Bill stepped up and bought $150 mil of non-voting apple stock. The best R&D investment he's EVER done.
And made a handsome profit on it, didn't he? Plus got the Feds to ease up on his backside.

"And made a handsome profit on it, didn't he? Plus got the Feds to ease up on his backside."I don't think the prime mover was money. I think he wanted the feds off of his back real bad. He knew the feds would back off if he did that. :-)
