Through my family business I have a unique view on Hi-Tech folks’ decisions about their own Health-care.

The culture Top-Down is get generally work done, get more work done, get it done Now, and don’t complain.

IF one is part of this mind-set, then GIGA OM’s BLOG cited above. IT IS AN EYE OPENER.

Be Well All,

I wish him the best health-wise. That said, as much as fans and investors would like to think that Jobs is the company, Apple is a well-oiled machine with many product lines that will continue to be successful even if the guy wasn’t involved at all.

Make no mistake, Jobs is brilliant and he’s an innovative businessman, but there are far more brains behind Apple’s success than just his, and there always has been.
