    I'm sorry I can't seem to find anybody who stated the company couldn't survive without him.

    That is a legitimate point. That isn't what garamet said.

    Really? You're telling me that from late '09 - early '10 they did poorly? Or did you mean the time before that? From '04 - '06?

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that since the guy running the show in '04 is going to be the guy running the show from now on, that they've probably figured out how to keep the company going without Steve around. It may not be quite as sleek after Jobs shuffles off this mortal coil, but I doubt if it'll take the serious plunge it did when he was bounced out in the 80s.
