For those of you who were not up to snuff on the history of Apple, especially if you happened to have been a child at the time or not yet born, you should know that in May 1985 Apple hired a new CEO and, proceeded to fire Steve Jobs. Well, as El Reg is reporting, Scully now admits that it was a mistake. Well, as history has proven, Steve Jobs was far more successful as a CEO at Apple after his return than John Scully. Perhaps he should have stayed put and continued to sell that sugary, caramel-colored water.

    The point is no one can say what would've happened, not even the ppl who were involved as well you do not know..

    Well, anyone can say what would've happened. And we can make a decent educated guess as to what would have happened. Jobs wasn't doing well at the time he got ousted. And his performance since he returned to Apple was from businesses and experience he had gained outside of Apple. So your scenario of a humbler Jobs is probably accurate.
