Jim,

Th September issue of GQ has the most brutal article ever written  
about the myth of John Sculley.  He's probably going to need analysis  
or a lot of therapy to recover from this very "in your face" article.   
In a nutshell, the guy has a terrible complex about not being  
respected for his technical skills even though he has no technical  
skills; thus the myth that he replaced Jobs as Apple's 21st century  
visionary.  The author was rather clever is catching Sculley's  
contradictions over the years and he's blunt about it as well.   
Everyone should read this if think they know why Apple fired Sculley.   
It's an interesting twist on an already bizarre story that may  
actually be the final chapter of Apple as we know it.  A lot of  
decisions were made by Sculley that are now bust or causing the  
company a lot of grief.
