"And so, hey, let a thousand flowers bloom. My job is to be a gardener. It's a thousand flowers, and they can bloom any way, any color, any fashion they want, 'cause there’s always a market for some flower."* Guy Kawasaki describes himself as "one of the last bastions of irreverence at Apple."

On Nov. 13 at 3:30 Guy will be discussing the unique evangelism program, its underlying philosophy, future product directions for the company and its unusual relationship with the third-party community. ♦ Excerpts from Miaotimes, May 1986. ’Apple Opens Up*, by Mary Eisenhart and Paul Hoffman ft M* <n*r Ik .Ik* **jthi Ir* m «g*«rc DMn 'll *i* wop** h U» >Ut & i rjdrirvrt <4 Wlwah limn H «*l » hnnnri will » ;>m»i
