    I love that he retained his showmanship throughout his career. His presentations were always the best. I’m old enough that I was using a computer to program in basic and fortran at the time of this presentation. Nothing but a DOS prompt, green on black. I remember what a wonderfully shocking development that display and drag and drop interface was at the time. The mouse, wow. The audience going nuts reminded me of just how far Apple and the Steves pushed things, all the way along… We’ll miss you Steve, it’s way too soon.
