Yep. He just walked in and took them all, and they didn't know *what*
the hell was going on.  Give me a break.

But, anyway, ignoring that, saying that yes, he could actually *STEEL*
employees (making it *only* Apple's fault...), Jobs, when he walked off to
do NeXT, *STOLE* Macintosh developers from Apple.  

I guess some habits are hard to break.  Looks like that WonderMachine everybody
is drooling over is as morally bankrupt as the Macintosh.

Geez. Technology reaches the masses.
