Such as? Honestly, this I'd love to see. You'd be hard pressed to make
a direct correleation to ANY one company's successes and another one's
failure. For example, you could say that HP killed off Compaq, but
really it was Eckhard Pfeiffer's incompetence and an expensive
takeover of DEC that was most responsible.
Really, I'd love to see what you come up with here. Also, not sure
where you get the 17-year statement either. You have some points, but
then go so far, far overboard that it's ridiculous. What were you
saying when all the tech observers, Wall Street analysts, etc., were
saying that Apple was all but dead during the 1990s? They had absolute
numbers and all kinds of other things to back them up,which you don't
really provide here. All of your conjecture is just opinion and the
roads of technology are LITTERED with opinion-based conjecture that
didn't pan out.
