Well at least he admitted to not having seen Keynote or Safari. Anyway, I would love to see his face the first time he gets a good look at Keynote.

The article this came from mentions that the keynote started with a montage that compare the Altair to the iMac. Does anyone know what context this was in? Was it pro or anti iMac? Just curious.
