Not the answer to your question but your question did lead me to something fun:

"The company desperately needed the Macintosh to be a hit. Instead, after an initial flurry of interest, sales of the new computer came in far below expectations. The Macintosh was underpowered, and the lack of software for it kept business customers away. In April 1985, Sculley convinced the Apple board to strip Jobs of his management duties. Sculley put out a statement that Jobs would continue to be a “creator of powerful ideas and the champion of Apple’s spirit,” but in reality Jobs suddenly found himself in a no-man’s land at the company he’d created. He was kicked out of his office and moved to a small building across the street, *which he nicknamed Siberia*. For a couple of months he dragged himself into the office to take the occasional phone call, but with depression setting in, he eventually stopped visiting the Apple campus altogether.

That September, Jobs officially cut his ties to Apple and announced plans to start a new company, NeXT, taking with him a handful of Apple engineers. "




Siberia != Serbia :) Maybe you misread something, or I'm misunderstanding?


Ah the good old Dyslexia ADHD combo. You're right I'm a moron. Happy Wednesday! :)


No you’re NOT a moron, just a minor mistake. Have a wonderfully Wednesday.
