What about offering $24 in 1996? http://www.sunworld.com/swol-01-1996/swol-01-apple.html The board turned Sun down and then went out and paid $400 million to buy NeXT. For all intents and purposes, they paidf $400 million to buy an operating system, hire an OS team headed by Avie Trevanian, and oh yes, provide a nice signing bonus for their new part-time CEO, some guy named Steve. Lots of shareholders grumbled. Of course, that was Apple and this is Yahoo. I don't personally think Jerry has Steve's touch, but I sincerely hope he makes me look like the wrong end of an Equine. |
