The Mac Observer Spin:
Fred Anderson is a busy man. Being a CFO and a member of three different boards of directors is both interesting and unusual. As we have said before when he was appointed to the other boards, it speaks well for the job he is doing at Apple, and indeed, of Apple itself.Warning: include(/usr/local/etc/httpd/sites/macobserver.com/htdocs/forums/extension.inc) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/bbm/macobserver.com/ee2/www/htdocs/comments/comments.php on line 108
