Jobs Suggests Dell to Eat His Own Words

Last Friday Steve Jobs sent a friendly email to his employees saying "Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn't perfect at predicting the future. Based on today's stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve."

This all relates back to 1997 when SJ rejoined Apple and Michael Dell made an interesting yet foolish comment towards Apple "What would I do?" Mikey said to an audience of several thousand information technology managers. "I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders."
