Some people say that the advice is stupid, but there is actually a lot of sensible things that they did at some point or another, some even being distinctly Apple-y:

> 10. Get a great image campaign

> 14. Do something creative with the design of the box and separate yourselves from the pack.

> 18. Stop being buttoned-down corporate and appeal to the fanatic feeling that still exists for the Mac

> 23. Create a new logo

> 25. Portables, portables, portables.

> 31. Build a PDA for less than $250 that actually does something

people usually pay less than $250 upfront for an iPhone

> 34. Port the OS to the Intel platform

(Identical to 76)

> 37. Take advantage of NeXT's easy and powerful OpenStep programming tools to entice a new generation of Mac software developers

Especially true for iOS

> 39. Build a laptop that weighs 2 pounds

> 50. Give Steve Jobs as much authority as he wants in new product development

> 51. Speak to the consumer.

> 54. Sell off the laser printer business

> 70. Simplify your PC product line

> 72. Try the industry-standard serial port plug.

Apple switched to USB pretty quickly if I remember correctly

> 101. Don't worry. You'll survive
