Today's MacWorld keynote was pretty incredible. Besides the amazing success of the iPod, Apple delivered, way ahead of schedule, a laptop that makes geeks salivate. More than just switching to Intel because the IBM relationship went sour, Apple delvered the first (marketing-wise at least) dual-core laptop with apparently an amazing performance.
Steveness rocked the house, and there was was more electricity in the audience than a G5 chip can consume in 2.5 hrs.
But as far as Apple got, the path they had to travel is even more amazing. I found this gem on Google Video (who incidentally now offers iPod downloads for many of the files, ironically not this one). It's MacWorld 1997. Apple IS LOOSING. They are really down and out. Steveness comes out (his is not-yet-but-soon-to-be CEO) and assures the troops of future success. He lays out a strategy, which, while not very complicated, is followed through and takes Apple where it is today.
