So, there I was giving my first Keynote, rather than PowerPoint, presentation to some potential business partner. Remote controlling my 12" PB using an Ericsson T68 and Romeo via bluetooth.
In a room full of guys using really very nice PC laptops, IBMs, Sony Vaios etc.

They were so amazed by the hardware I used they asked more questions about that than my presentation.

Ahhhh. Geekness heaven.

LoL yep! I mean it's not surprising that Apple software would look sexier than PC software considering how amazing Apple hardware looks. I bet it blew them away.

I had almost the same thing happen to me back in 1994 with my computer engineering senior college project and my PowerBook Duo 230.

I was showing the professor the machine language interpreter I designed and all he wanted to talk about was the track-marble.

Ahhh...so nice to hear. Another step to break down the wall that is the PC/MAC myth is always welcome.

Track Marble? God, I can just barely remember using one of those!
