> I missed meeting Steve Jobs. I actually made a presentation to the CEO and Board of Apple Computer 
> in 1990. Unfortunately, that was after Steve had been ousted, so the CEO at that time was John 
> Sculley. It was impressive to meet him, but it had none of the feeling that meeting Steve would have 
> had. I got more feeling from meeting Guy Kawasaki, and I still have a Mac SE and keyboard that he 
> touched (I had a booth at a tradeshow in 1988, and he used my Mac to print a picture he had on a 
> diskette).
