It doesn't necessarily take that long for a poorly managed big company to collapse. In 1995
-1996, Apple really was in deep sh*t. It's worth noting that the company didn't really recover
until the CEO and most of the board was replaced.

If I were a Sun board member, I'd be asking some hard questions of the executive staff right
now. I agree with the poster above, there seems to be an egregious lack of oversight at Sun,
and the board probably needs to go.
