He seemed to take it all in stride.  He DID seem genuinely touched by the
standing ovation at the end of his Keynote.

He seems to be quite the storyteller, and certainly didn't appear to be
put off by such questions.  Often they would launch him into a hilarious
story.  B-{)

I was sorta shy myself, even though we'd been emailing earlier.  He
certainly accomidated the many requests for autographs at KFest very
goodnaturedly.  He's a genuine good person.  B-{)

anymore,

He did mention that he doesn't use his Apple II's anymore, but he
certainly hadn't forgotten anything about them when Tony Diaz started
pulling out prototype motherboards and such.

I guess you could email him concerning Contiki, but currently he's pressed
for time.
