Codi.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/byte\/220015016\/\">t-shirt<\/a> that was gifted to all WWDC 2006 attendees. After Virgin decided that we shouldn&#8217;t leave Sydney, changing our gates three times, because of the bad weather, we finally left. When I did land in Melbourne, one of the flight attendants was talking to me because of the t-shirt I was wearing and he wanted advice on buying his first Mac.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s now sold on the idea of a MacBook, and even if he needed the Windows goodness, he&#8217;d get it, thanks to BootCamp\/Parallels. Merchandising is important&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, at the second gate, they told us the plane there was unserviceable. However, they managed to fly that to the (sunny) Gold Coast. Seeing that there were no major dramas in Saturday&#8217;s papers, I guess planes can become unserviceable depending on the weather?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and I tried Keynote (demo-version for 30 days). Man, I was impressed. Its highly polished. And it works well with the remotes that Apple ship nowadays. It seems to take presentations to the next level. And the interface, its just simply amazing. Need to outdent a bullet? Just drag it and the grid shows up. Amazing, amazing, amazing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Flight%20attendant%20gets%20inspired%20by%20%22Veni.%20Vedi.%20Codi.%22&body=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bytebot.net%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2006%2F10%2F22%2Fflight-attendant-gets-inspired-by-veni-vedi-codi&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
