Idili lokuwina
Yize i-Apple yayizabalaza ngempela nezinkinga ezingathi sína ngaleso sikhathi, izimali zayo ezigciniwe zazilinganiselwa ku-1,2 bhiliyoni - "imali ephaketheni" ihlala isiza. "Ekuhwebeni" ngesamba semali esihloniphekile, iMicrosoft ithole amasheya angavoti kwa-Apple. USteve Jobs uphinde wavuma ukuvumela ukusetshenziswa kwe-MS Internet Explorer ku-Mac.

Esinye sezici ezibaluleke kakhulu zesivumelwano ukuthi i-Apple yavuma ukuhoxisa icala layo eselidonse isikhathi eside.

I-Essential MacWorld
Ngo-1997, ingqungquthela ye-MacWorld yabanjelwa eBoston. USteve Jobs umemezele ngokusemthethweni emhlabeni ukuthi iMicrosoft inqume ukusiza i-Apple ngokwezezimali. Kwakuwumcimbi omkhulu we-Apple ngezindlela eziningi, futhi u-Steve Jobs, phakathi kwezinye izinto, waba omusha - noma nje wesikhashana - i-CEO yenkampani ye-Cupertino. Naphezu kosizo lwezezimali alunikeze u-Apple, uBill Gates akatholanga ukwamukelwa okufudumele eMacWorld. Lapho ebonakala esikrinini ngemuva kweMisebenzi ngesikhathi kuqhubeka i-teleconference, ingxenye yezethameli yaqala ukubhodla ngolaka.
Kodwa-ke, iMacWorld ngo-1997 yayingekho emoyeni wokutshalwa kwezimali kukaGates. Imisebenzi iphinde yamemezela ukuhlelwa kabusha kwebhodi labaqondisi bakwa-Apple engqungqutheleni. "Bekuyibhodi elibi, ibhodi elibi," uJobs washesha ukugxeka. Emalungwini ebhodi okuqala, nguGareth Chang no-Edward Woolard Jr. kuphela, ababambe iqhaza ekuxosheni owamanduleli weMisebenzi, uGil Amelia, abasasele ezikhundleni zabo.

"Ngavuma ukuthi uWoolard noChang bazohlala," kusho uJobs engxoxweni nomlobi wakhe, uWalter Isaacson. Uchaze uWoolard “njengelinye lamalungu ebhodi angcono kakhulu engake ngabazi. Uqhube wachaza uWoolard njengomunye wabantu abamesekayo nabahlakaniphe kunabo bonke ake wahlangana nabo. Ngokuphambene, ngokusho kweMisebenzi, u-Chang waphenduka "uziro nje." Ubengeyena umuntu omubi, ubevele aziro,” kulandisa uJobs ngokuzidabukela. UMike Markkula, umtshali-zimali wokuqala omkhulu kanye nomuntu oweseka ukubuyiselwa kukaJobs enkampanini, naye wayishiya i-Apple ngaleso sikhathi. UWilliam Campbell wase-Intuit, uLarry Ellison wase-Oracle, noma uJerome York, isibonelo, owayesebenzela i-IBM kanye ne-Chrysler, wema ebhodini labaqondisi elalisanda kusungulwa. "Ibhodi elidala laliboshelwe esikhathini esedlule, futhi okwedlule kwaba ukwehluleka okukhulu," kusho uCampbell kuvidiyo ekhonjiswe eMacWorld. "Ibhodi elisha liletha ithemba," wengeza.
