The Bill And Steve Show

This is great Jeff!! I was laughing the whole time. 

Where'd you get the video?  

{SVW Hubba}...aka "Tool Boy"...

You and I both know that I am out of my league when it comes to this stuff.

But I am not out of my league by saying it is good to see the camaraderie between these competitors.

It is a strong example of how competitors 'SHOULD' get along :)

TLW...ROAR!

I think these guys are influential in more than just the computer world. Wow, that is quite a collection of "power" on one stage.

I watched that, it was kind of funny.

Jeff, Imagine to be on Bill's shoes, what it would be ? :)

 

Jeff this was way cool. My husband overheard me listening to it and asked for the link. Our teen son (sleeping in now that school's out) will want it too, I sent it to him also. Thank you for posting it.

AH ! Together again for the first time...

It is my understanding that the smiles mask some serious friction over the years.  But these two represent more than a generation of innovation that truly changed the world.  

It is interesting to me that I listened to Bill Gates speak of bandwidth for more than a decade without really understanding what he meant until I read "Telecosm" by George Gilder (c 2000) in which his premise was that periodically cultures change when technology or innovation bring the cost of some factor of production to zero. With the industrial revolution (late 19th century) it was horsepower - in the 1950's, electricity - during the 1990's, personal computers - and in the 21st century, the universal availability of bandwidth.  Personal computers developed power and storage capacity because connecting to wide area networks was costly.  Today it is almost free - and server based applications (Web 2.0 apps for example) are now accessible from dumb terminals (read cell phones).  Realtors can access the total MLS database from their Treo or Smartphones today - tomorrow? Use your imagination. 

I will count on Jeff to let us know what is coming before it happens. 

That was FANTASTIC!!  That Steve has a sense of humor, no?  Thanks so much for sharing it, I'm forwarding it to Rick.

Wow! That WAS a must-see! I think PC Guy has a big heart, too. (But I have NO idea what he meant by the ship that leaks at the top...)

Talk about two people with imagination and fortitude.  The two of them have changed the world forever in ways we still have yet to conceive and believe.

I watched that show. 

Steve Jobs has good reason to love Bill Gates.  If I remember correctly, in about 1997, Bill Gates invested $150,000 in Apple.

Had that not happened, this show might never have happened.

 

I like seeing the two together. Hopefully the smiles are not just for the camera. Funny stuff.

I finally got to sit down and just comment for the last two hours. I watched the whole thing and when hubbie gets home will let him watch as well. We're those people that love to watch the commercials ...the pc guy....apple guy...haha.  thanks...that was pretty neat listening to the two of them...awkward at times...wonder why? haha!

Good show, thanks for sharing Jeff.  Is it me or at times can you just see the genius in their eyes?

Thanks Jeff.

That was really good.

Lots of awkwardness in those 2 chairs. You can tell there’s a lot the neither one wanted to talk about and for some reason Bill seemed more nervous. Thanks for the vid.

I believe the full interview may be available on I-Tunes as a podcast (which is a free download) An hour and a half is available as audio or video.

 

Thanks for the post, Jeff.

I am so NOT a computer "geek", and I loved it! Amazing minds...when I grow up I want to be just like them.
