Just got some time to watch the Bill and Steve interview conducted around a week ago at the All Things Digital conference. It really has to be watched. Regardless of how you feel about either of them, their companies or even computers, it is amazing to see these two true visionaries shoot the breeze. They seemed very relaxed, joking often, and its obvious they hold a great deal of respect for each other.
I really enjoyed it, maybe because I’m one of the PC generation, and in a little way it feels like I have been along for the ride with them. Its incredible to think how far we have come.
One final thing that really stands out to me is that ubergeeks make great rich people. They both come across almost humble, constantly referring to the great people they worked with and how lucky they feel they have been. It is certainly quite a contrast to the modern day celebrity, royalty and I might say any number of “Internet Stars” who frankly just don’t compare to these two statesmen. Of course this could also be a factor of wisdom…..
Thanks for the memories Bill and Steve, not to mention all this information at my fingertips.
