Fred totally saved Apple from doom.

- He raised money when they need it most
- He hoarded cash before the downturn
- He managed to keep investments in the black while the market was spiraling


Fred is an Amazing CFO and he'll hopefully stay very involved as a board member.

Thanks for the memories Fred. You kept a pulse in Apple through some tough times and we welcome you to the board. And all those teleconferences you did without wearing any pants... hysterical!

Sounds like good news. Seems that maybe he feels comfortable enough with the current financial status of Apple that he can catch up on his fishing.
