You know you are getting older when you read stories about history, and have played a very minor part in them.
- Apple sales staff were in Hawaii in 1996 when Gasee came to visit Gil Amelio (it was the Asia-Pacific Sales Conference). We didn't see him as he "flew in under the radar" of the media and employees.
