Well I used to think Bill Gates had an in your face Ego...
Jobs is worst.  BTW  Jobs owns one of the big computer animation
companies.
Then there was the asshole from Oracle touting the Network Computer.
I utterly love the Network Computer concept for how it's going to just
SHIT all over the folks hawking it.
They had the former employees of Xerox yakking about the Alto (Or 
Altos or whatever).
Plus a quick view of The Woz teaching computers to 10 and 11 year olds.

Steve Jobs was right on about one thing...  Microsoft does 3rd rate
software.  Unfortunately he neglected to mention that Apple has an
annoying habit of allowing 1st rate software create the "50 pounds of
shit in a 10 pound bag" problem.  Come to think of it Jobs did
a repeat performance with the NeXT.
