Amelio did do three good things:
* replaced Spindler
* failed to buy BeOS
* bought NeXT
Spindler's Apple is responsible for the Performa sub-brand (although Amelio didn't kill it).
> After releasing a total of sixty-four different models [in five years], Apple retired the Performa brand in early 1997, shortly after release of the Power Macintosh 5500, 6500, 8600 and 9600, as well as the return of Steve Jobs to the company.
