What does a soft drink salesman know about computers? Probably as little as Steve Jobs knew about running a company the size of Apple.

Seem you are unaware what Apple tried to do under Sculley presence - try to read about Scorpius project:

Perhaps Sculley was from company that selling flavored, gassed, sweetened water but it give green light for major step forward (especially after Jobs reluctance to put "fancy" HW in Apple computers) - IMHO problem was not Sculley but rather people behind project, perhaps also lack of experience in Apple...
