An article on Cnet reports that Steve sent an email to Apple emplyees pointing out that Apple’s Market Cap is current higher than Dell’s and reminding them of what Michael Dell responded when asked in 1997 when Apple was in financial trouble.
“What would I do?” Dell said to an audience of several thousand information technology managers. “I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.”
On Friday, apparently savoring the moment, Jobs sent a brief e-mail message to Apple employees, which read: “Team, it turned out that Michael Dell wasn’t perfect at predicting the future. Based on today’s stock market close, Apple is worth more than Dell. Stocks go up and down, and things may be different tomorrow, but I thought it was worth a moment of reflection today. Steve.”
