APPLE Messiah Steve Jobs has been too sick to work for his toy-making company, but is apparently well enough to work for another Mickey Mouse outfit.
Jobs has applied for re-election on the board of Disney. He is the largest single shareholder in Disney, with 7.4 per cent of the shares. There was some doubt if Jobs was going to be well enough to sit on the board, but he is apparently well enough to apply for re-election.
We can only assume that the job of being a director of Disney is not as challenging as being a god in the hardware industry. When he was fighting fit, during 2008, Jobs showed up at about three quarters of meetings required. µ
