I don't normally post links to interesting things on other sites as stories here, just because I figure there are about 210 other places out there that already do just that. But someone sent me a link today to an absolutely amazing video from Macworld New York in July of 1999.
Steve Jobs and Phil Schiller were demoing AirPort, and the way they did it simply must be seen to be believed. I would have lost a lot of money had someone bet me that someone did what they did in this clip--"no way, he's not going to do that!" But, as you'll see, he did.
I had no idea they were that wild and crazy "back in the day..."
Hey Rob,
I was there to see that live but what I thought was the best thing was right before that when Steve Jobs began showing web pages load on the iBook. He just nonchalantly began walking with it in one hand, talking and demo-ing the whole while.
Slowly the audience realized that he was not plugged in to anything. The applause started slowly, but came to a deafening roar, as people saw what this meant. Steve even brought out a hula hoop and passed the iBook through it like a magician, to huge laughs.
