lol I remember very old threads, where people would point out Powerbooks in films and televisions shows, like Austin Powers, Sex And The City and Smallville, and everyone would go crazy with excitement.
But you find out that the man who created one of the most important inventions of the last century (WWW, HTML, HTTP, URL, etc) and you don't care?
lmfao! I bet if you guys found out Ozzy Osbourne used a powerbook, you'd all wet yourself with glee.
Uncultured swines.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. He used NeXTStep to build the first web browser... Later Apple bought NeXT, and that's how we have this thing called Cocoa today.

He has even more kudos than a powerbook.
The www was created on a NeXT cube.
