He's becoming a recluse and has hired a body guard? Now that doesn't seem like the behavior of someone who tried to jump off the Hi-Level Bridge, does it? Compared to Ford, Carty "Deaf people should live by the airport" Finkbiner seems rather tame.
The blame for Be and Apple not merging lies with Be alone. The two were negotiating a purchase, but Apple chose NeXT over Be because Be wanted $400 million for their company and NeXT wanted the same. With Be they would have purchased a good operating system. But with NeXT, Apple got a good operating system, WebObjects, and Steve Jobs, who replaced a series of forgettable and unmotivational CEOs. Anyone remember Diesel?
As for their OS, it was top notch. I used it with my PC and it flew. Unfortunatly, all I could use if for was writing textfiles and spinning a damn tea kettle at amazing speeds. It's too bad no one ever made any software for it.
