Ile – yes, generally the computers used for demos would be the best current machines available. Never anything special though; no tricks.

How fast computer Apple have in keynotes? Are those fastest machines Apple have, always? Example: you (Mike) demoing FinalCut 2002 Macworld and its was really fast, I never seen FinalCut so fast (maybe few years later, but still). Was that machine fastest Apple machine then or..?

By the way… how does Steve pronounce ‘Jobs’? is it jobs like the plural of job, or more like ‘jobe’ the way it is in the bible with the book of Job?

Simon – there is a lot of general interest in Apple these days, primarily because of the amazing growth of the iPod. Whenever there is an article about iPods, they usually talk about Steve too; so many people know about Steve Jobs who know nothing about computers.

Very interesting stories you have!

How big a celebrity is Steve within the “normal” american people? You said in your earlier post that whenever Steve gives a keynote, it’ll be discussed all around. Is Steve/Apple appearing a lot in tv news or newspapers? Or is it just the IT media that pays attention to his excellent keynotes and the product introductions? I don’t know about Europe as a whole, but at least here in Finland Steve ain’t a big name (compared for example to mr Gates).

Keep up the great work!

Roman – I never had any involvement in that, but from my observations the net connections seemed to be infinitely fast.

Have you noticed how fast the internet connections are for Steve’s keynotes nowadays? Was this ever something you encountered?

Great stories Mike,

keep on going, we’d love to hear more about Steve’s keynotes. Once your book is out, a few of my friends will get one as a gift. Of course, after I secure one for myself!
