Press Reviews Steve Jobs (CEO, Apple Computer): "Perfect." (In context, the actual quote was "Lorin, the organ music is perfect") during rehearsals and after the live performance I did for the keynote session of the Apple WWDC 2002 Conference. In a thank-you note to the people who contracted me for the show, Mr. Jobs said: "Awesome job getting it all together. It was superb. A moment to remember. Thanks for making it all work perfectly, finding the right musician, and pulling it all off. Steve" Er, somewhere around here I have more reviews...I suppose I should look them up. David Blumberg also has an opinion: "I swear, he is demented".
