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?
