Steve Jobs' Macworld Keynotes, 1998-2008

Ian Lamont writes "The Industry Standard has put together a collection of video highlights from Steve Jobs' Macworld keynotes since his return to Apple in the late 1990s. It's interesting to watch. Jobs was basically able to turn tech product demonstrations into convincing consumer spectacles that made even the simplest product feature — such as the handle on the clamshell iBook — seem innovative and utterly desirable. And while his appearance changed greatly over the years (compare his 1998 iMac demonstration with his "iPod Mini" keynote in 2004, when he was reportedly trying to treat cancer with a special diet), his enthusiasm never waned. Of course, he may make appearances at Apple's WWDC or other events, but a Macworld expo with Phil Schiller headlining just won't be the same."

    Macworld Boston - that's the one. If the collection starts from 1998 then it must not include this one.

    More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_jobs#Return_to_Apple (doesn't mention the keynote, but although the collection starts from 1998 he actually came back in 1996, announcing it in 1997 at Macworld Boston.)

    Renaming a file requires an imprecisely measured long button press on the mouse button (which if you miss ends up opening the file), or clicking the "get info" option in the pop-up menu. There's no simple "rename" option!

    Select the file to be renamed. PRESS THE "ENTER" KEY. Type the new name. Press the enter key again, or click anywhere else.
