14" Apple has always had a special,
as romanticized place in the hearts of its
'C. devotees.
1 a For many of us, it has been much
ige more than a company. It's been about

Levitus and Fraase tell a story
of how one company was able to
envision computing and
communication in a totally new
and different way, after which
nothing was ever the same. And
so that's how I choose to think of
Apple, as a company that stood
convention on its ear and showed
the world there was another way
? a better way ? of doing things.
In spite of its innovative ideas,
Apple hasn't been managed well as
