GlobalTalk Chat has finally joined the Artificial Intelligence age!

Using state-of-the-art 1980's Markov chain technology (made famous for powering Mark V. Shaney on Usenet net.singles), we now have our very own Dr. Gilbert “Gil” Amelio, former Apple CEO, to chat with when we get bored.

All his "knowledge" is based on the text of his best-selling 1998 book “On the Firing Line: My 500 Days at Apple”

And the calls came rolling in. I said so, although l've always been comfortable with risk-taking, forecasting a timetable for profitability.
