So I'm on Chapter 16 of the biography and everything is looking rosy - though cracks are starting to show. I know I'm going to get the rest in the next few days ... but I'm impatient
Am I right in saying ...
Apple boomed from the late 70's till around 85/86 before Microsoft started blasting ahead?
Then from around 85/86 to late 90's they ambled along almost going into bankruptcy?
After the bailout from Microsoft - the initial product to help them was the iMac in the late 90s?
Then the iPod secured where they are in the early 2000's ... till today where they're more profitable than Microsoft?

And why would is Pitney Bowes a competitor and Microsoft not?
