hah! It is about computer company execs not ceding responsibility to
those who know how to build computer products. Customer acceptance of
a new name is earned by a company putting it on the line and creating
something new.

Here are Bill Gates and Steve Jobs laughing at their recollection of
Gil Amelio, the Apple exec who was managing that company after the
ouster of Steve Jobs.

Amelio is quoted as saying he knew the company was sinking and "his
job was to steer it in the right direction". At that point in the
story Gates pantomines a sinking ship with his arm and the entire
audience dies laughing. ;)
