@Trash80toHP_Mini: When forwarding the kudos on the Tekserve booth to your son, you can tell him that's my second favorite Macworld New York memory. Second only to when a gentleman in a black turtleneck and jeans with round glasses was making his way through the crowded show floor in the direction of the Apple booth made eye contact and said "excuse me" to me. I replied "no problem", as I did a bunch of times to others trying to make their way around the packed first day. By the time I realized what had happened it was already over.

That's my story of (barely) meeting and talking to Steve Jobs. I like it that way though. He looked busy and what else could I have said anyway? I'm sure he got plenty of fans wanting to tell him their life stories, tell him he's a genius, try to find out about unreleased stuff, want an autograph, etc... Better to exchange a smile and treat him like any other stranger than to act like an obsessed fanboy, right?

Sorry to go off topic, but I had to share.
