Am I the only one who found it annoying that Steve kept saying "Jag-wire"?

M�lum · Jul 17, 2002, 03:01 PM

indeed

Where were you for the past 6 momths?

Geez, grow up already.

Steve has an accent, big deal.

RAzaRazor · Jul 17, 2002, 03:12 PM

Accent from Where?? Northern California? I don't think so.
I lived in the Bay area forever and don't say Jag-Wire.

I'm new around here and today was my first exposure to this Steve guy. He's a little pretentious and jerky, no? Whats with the praying hands? And why does he always have the same outfit on? He had the same outfit on today as any photo I've ever seen of him. Is that supposed to be cool?

I don't get it.

I guess he's laughing all the way to the bank though.

Well, he only gets paid $1 per year by Apple...

However, with a personal fortune of over $3bn, I dont think he is going to run out of cash any time soon.... he might even be able to budget in for one of the 20gig iPods!

Maybe he didn't con-figger his brain properly.

Jag-Wire and FireWhare, that's it!

Ahtomatically instead of automatically bothered me a lot...

You should move to Massachusetts...

We pronounce Red Sox as "Sucking Ass" and the Yankees as "A team that beats us like a rented mule after the All Star break"

Funny how that accent gets in the way...

Personally, I feel that you need to be dressed in a red smoking jacket with a pipe in hand before you get to say "Jagwire". But then, when I was a little kid Nike was NIKE, not Nike-eeee. And Uranus was you know what... The kids todays. <img border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" title="" src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" />

zjagawharrrr here I come

The Man himself on the issue:

A friend of mine said that in front of me once, I corrected him. Its JAGWAR, not JAGWIRE.
