==Respectable cash flow?==

:I agree - it was money very well spent indeed. Without it, Apple would not exist today, but of course we can only see that with the benefit of hindsight. [[User:GRAHAMUK|Graham]] 22:57, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
: It wasn't just Gil's opinion that Apple overpaid. That was the universal opinion at the time. The purchase at that price for an unfinished product simply flabbergasted everyone at Apple. Furthermore, it did not bring "Steve Jobs to come and turn around Apple." It only brought him in as an adviser who reported directly to Amelio. Don't forget that Jobs' loyalty was very much in question since once the Next deal was done, his first response was to sell all of his Apple stock except for one share.
: I totally disagree with the opinion that "without Next, Apple would not exist today, but of course we can only see that with the benefit of hindsight." Years of internal work had to be done to make that OS viable. Arguably, a completely new OS could have been developed for those man hours.[[User:TL36|TL36]] ([[User talk:TL36|talk]]) 20:19, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

So... huh? -- [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] ([[User talk:TJRC|talk]]) 20:31, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
:Removed that sentence since it made no sense out of context. It was an unusual deal involving a [[special-purpose acquisition company]] which is now (finally, five years later!) described in the article on [[Jazz Semiconductor]]. Acquicor was a shell corporation with no product nor revenues, just three rich celebrities. [[User:W Nowicki|W Nowicki]] ([[User talk:W Nowicki|talk]]) 21:28, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
== Links? ==
The links for citation #1 are incorrect. one is a link to a political video, the other is to a related page on amelio that does not contain the information it is "supposed" to. [[Special:Contributions/67.70.94.222|67.70.94.222]] ([[User talk:67.70.94.222|talk]]) 12:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC) drw
This seems to be no rumor spread by Jobs to bring Amelio into disrepute. He just seems to have freely summarized what Fortune Magazine reports:
:Amelio told us: "Apple is a boat. There's a hole in the boat, and it's taking on water. But there's also a treasure on board. And the problem is, everyone on board is rowing in different directions, so the boat is just standing still. My job is to get everyone rowing in the same direction so we can save the treasure." After he turned away, I looked at the person next to me and asked, "But what about the hole?" --A Silicon Valley CEO recalling Amelio's description of his task at Apple during a cocktail party in spring, 1996.
According to [http://stevejobsinc.blogspot.de/2011/04/steve-jobs-versus-gil-amelio.html SteveJobsInc] the source for this is Schlender, B. (1998, November 9) The Three Faces Of Steve. Fortune Magazine. However [http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1998/11/09/250880/ there] is no mention of it in the text.

:I'm adding Ellison's quote to the article, since all current sources lead directly to Steve Jobs, who can be considered a biased source in this case.--[[User:Gorpik|Gorpik]] ([[User talk:Gorpik|talk]]) 10:33, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
