What a showman

The HISTORIC MacWorld New York 1999

This was the HISTORIC moment when most of the world was introduced to "wireless" (WiFi) - watch and listen as the sro crowd gets up on their feet and goes wild!

Steve Jobs wakes the iBook from sleep and innocently demonstrates web surfing using the iBook; unbeknownst to everyone is that he is doing so wirelessly... until he picks up the iBook and continues to surf the internet while walking around the stage!

Steve Jobs comically demonstrates the wireless capabilities of the original iBook with a HULA HOOP!

The things we take for granted these days...

Kevin Flynn thought of WiFi in 1985.

I will always think of him as Jobs' Ed McMahon.
