I hope that Hugh (and others) don't overlook your 'just trying to get
you mad' preface.

The Macs at the Rochester meeting were the most current models. The
laptop used at the plenary sessions had its 'glowing apple' in the
raised lid right-side-up from the audience's perspective. The older
models had it 'right-side-up' from the user's perspective when closed.

The titanium powerbooks in the Exhibit Hall were mostly G4's. (latest
and greatest!)

"Imagine the disincentive to software development if after months of work
another company could come along and copy your work and market it under its
own name...without legal restraints to such copying, companies like Apple
could not afford to advance the state of the art."
