This is a lovely bit of video (albeit low resolution) that’s been flying around the internet since Apple announced Jony Ive’s departure. It’s from a Hardware Roadmap session at WWDC 1997.
Striking how young everyone is.
Though the whole video is wonderful to watch, for the purposes of this post, jump to 30:21, where Phil makes a joke about giving everyone a free PowerBook, then goes on to introduce Director of Design Jonathan Ive.
22 years ago. How time flies.
Ah, Rubinstein. I wish the Pre had done better in the market.
Wow he looks so much better with a shaved head.
I do like that Phil mentions that the computers are so easily openable at the beginning.
Certainly feels like an end of an era. So glad Ive stayed as long as he did, to help Apple & Cook transition after Jobs’ passing.
Many of us do… 🙂
