I remember leaving Apple in the 90s, then visiting for meetings (because our start-up had a business relationship with Apple).
The contrast between our small (six person) company and the entrenched folks at Apple was amazing, especially since I had been one of them just a month or two earlier.
Us: Let's get this done. We're three months to financial destruction, let's move.
Apple: (totally not getting it)
... add to this people who stuck their heads in our meetings, saying "Sorry, I'm triple-booked, hi, see you next week."
I can't say I'm sorry to see the old Apple go. (I'm sorry that the Newton was never properly followed-through on, but that's another story).
