John Scully, who had spent his career at [[PepsiCo]], was appointed CEO of Apple by Apple's Board because Apple's Board would not let Jobs run the company. He was selected based on his marketing and management expertise. Jobs supported Scully's selection because he knew nothing about computers and would need to depend on Jobs for all decisions. This backfired on Jobs when he was forced to leave the company leaving control into the hand of a man who knew nothing about computers. Sales at Apple increased from $800 million to $8 billion under Scully's management.<ref>{{cite news|work=The New York Times|url=http://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/16/business/company-news-visionary-apple-chairman-moves-on.html?scp=8&sq=john%20sculley%20apple&st=cse|title=Company News – Visionary Apple Chairman Moves On"|accessdate=September 2, 2012|date=October 16, 1993|first=John|last=Markoff}}</ref> Under Scully, Apple introduced the [[Newton]], a personal digital assistant. Although the Newton was not a market success it inspired other similar products such as the [[Palm Pilot]].
