Eddy is Steve's natural successor. A visionary and very charasmatic guy. Apple is lucky to have him so step aside, Tim!
Ha ha ha - the competition is very greatful of this visionary :)[doublepost=1513345468][/doublepost]
At first glance I thought he’d resigned.
That would make too much sense. Spaceship Apple doesn’t seem to embrace reality these days does it.
