   Jack gets a bad rapp for his "Jack attacks", and I'm not sure how well I would   
   have survived if I ever had to work under him. But reading "The Home Computer   
   Wars" the other day, it left me with a slightly different feeling - an   
   admiration for the man's sheer determination to win in business, and his belief   
    in his own business "religion".   
      
   I tried to distill out of the book the components of The Religion (according to   
    the book, Jack called it this himself). It included a strong focus on lean   
   business (sounds very modern), reducing the number of layers of command,   
   expecting managers to "get involved" and not just manage. He was apparently   
   oft-quoted as saying "business is like sex. You have to be involved".   
      
   Just wondering if there are any other closet Jack admirers, and whether they   
   can shed any more light on Jack's business religion?
