The Texas Public Education Reform Foundation is sponsoring a statewide education summit on 16 Feb 2007. Steve Jobs and Michael Dell are scheduled to speak at 12:50 PM regarding: Learning,Technology & Education Reform, Enhancing Education through Technology.
Steve Jobs is rarely, if ever seen, in public other than at Apple Retail Store Openings, MWSF or WWDC. Are there any Apple/Mac enthusiasts available to document the event in Austin TX? Photos welcomed.

Actually thats $1/yr x 100 yrs = $100/century.
But hey, steve, mikey, what diff does it make, they both have mo money than they could ever possibly need anyways 
But in terms of kewl/unique/vision, steve wins hands down !
And mikey is the one who said yrs ago that apple should close up shop and give stockholders their money back......what a bonehead

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

He was at the Stanford graduation a couple of years back and apparently talked about how useless school is. I think I see why he's not invited to many things.

Weird. I wouldn't pay $1 to go see him speak. He's the CEO of a computer company, not a philosopher or political leader.

Not quite. Here's the text of what he said...

Uhh... you've never heard Jobs speak have you? I swear the first time I heard him speak I was like... dude... this guy's better than most preachers I've heard!

He's also possibly the best speaker of our age. That's why people joke about Jobs being surrounded with a reality distortion field.
Also, I would much rather hear from a leader in computer technology than a politician. He's much more likely to have something interesting to say.

I don't know what it is, but the English politicians and leaders seem on average to be much better at oratory than their American equivalents.

It's the accent. Everything sounds more intelligent with one.

A British politician could stand behind a podium and say, "I enjoy rubbing my fingers through my own feces," and it would still sound intelligent and classy.
I wish I had a British accent...

Well... no, I guess not. But philosophers would have something maybe at least worth paying to hear. What the hell is Stevie going to say?
"Uh..hey! I made Apple...um... we build cool computers... unlike microsoft! Huh huh. Um... "
Why do people pay to go see that?

I went to the theatre just last weekend, and I bought Battlestar on DVD.

Either way. The point is, if it's reasonable to pay to watch movies even though they aren't Socratic monologues, I don't see why it's unreasonable to want to see Steve Jobs give a kickass presentation about a topic you're interested in.

It may be the next best thing to seeing Jobs and Dell duke it out in the ring. Which is probably why the going admission is $90.
