That would be Gil Amelio. Looking at it from the outside it may appear
Amelio did a good job. However, I worked at Apple through the Spindler and
Amelio years, and can truthfully say Apple would be out of business by now
if Jobs had not pulled off his palace coup and kicked Amelio's
self-righteous ass out the door.

The worst part of it is that Amelio did a hell of a lot better job as CEO
than did Spindler. Don't even get me started on that Pepsi guy.

Given Apple's incompetence at the top spot for so many years it is a miracle
the company survived long enough for Jobs to come back and rescue his baby.
