On a completely unrelated note, from NTKnow dated 16/07/1999 (ie fifteen years ago, when we were all younger and actually getting some sex):
SNAPPY QUESTIONS FOR DUMB ANSWERS>> (being an occasional
series encouraging readers to ruin press conferences by
asking smart-arse questions): ALISTAIR DABBS wins this week,
with his query at the Acrobat 4.0 launch earlier this year.
When Adobe's CHUCK GESCHKE demonstrated how the whole of
Apple UK's Website could be converted into a PDF, Alistair
asked if Chuck could see the irony of choosing the Apple
site for the demo, since this feature is only available in
the Windows version. Chuck's instant comeback: Adobe will
have added this function to Mac Acrobat 4.0 by launch
date. Impressive comeback? "I learnt fifteen minutes later
from a whispering Adobe product manager", reveals Alistair,
"that this was total bollocks, invented off the cuff by
Chuck in order to shut me up." Okay, folks: now it's up to
you to remind Chuck of his promise at every public
appearance. And remember: the demo is only over when you're
forced to leave the building.
I assume this is/was our beloved Dabbsy
