Not enough Steve in your life right now? Are you suffering from listlessness brought on by a nasty onslaught of Steve deficiency? Well, what do you expect? It's been a month since the man's last keynote address, so you're obviously due for a booster shot-- especially if you neglected to follow doctor's orders and only experienced Steve via webcast, instead of live, in-person, and extra-strength. (Couldn't afford a ticket to San Francisco? Cry us a river. C'mon, if you don't have your health, you don't have anything. Priorities, people!)
Well, here's some good news; there's a chance that you may be able to get in front of Steve's life-affirming energy before your deficiency advances to a lethal state. According to MacCentral, the keynote speaker at Macworld Expo Tokyo in two weeks will be none other than-- brace yourselves, 'cause this is a one crazy plot twist-- Steve Jobs himself. Yes, we know it's a shock, especially since the man delivered the keynote at that very same event last year, but calm yourself and get over it, because you've got work to do. Obviously you're going to have to attend that keynote. Is your passport in order?
See, as of yet, there's no word of a planned webcast from Tokyo's Stevenote, which means that since you were too cheap to wing it to San Francisco, now you're going to have to shell out crazy ducats to get your Steve-deprived butt to the Land of the Rising Sun. Oooh, and with less than three weeks' advance ticket purchase, to boot... that false economy'll kill you every time. But think of it this way: maybe Steve will give away a free t-shirt or something to help soften the blow. Enjoy the flight!

 | | The above scene was taken from the 2/9/01 episode: February 9, 2001: BTO PowerBook G4 customers receive word that their orders have been pushed back to February 24th. Meanwhile, Apple may be down, but Pixar is up, up, up-- and the man officially slated to deliver the keynote address at the upcoming Macworld Expo in Tokyo is (try to contain your amazement) none other than Steve Jobs himself...
Other scenes from that episode: 2853: Just Spreading The Ill Will (2/9/01) Did you ever have one of those days when you really shouldn't have bothered to get out of bed in the morning? After oversleeping due to unsettling dreams, finally arising to discover yet more snow, shoveling said snow for forty minutes in the rain, and then spending an hour on the phone trying to talk an extraordinarily stupid person through accomplishing what should have been a mind-numbingly simple task (turns out this person was running the 68K version of Netscape on an iMac, despite the fact that every iMac ever shipped has a PowerPC version of the software preinstalled), we're just generally in a foul mood... 2854: Not Enough RDF To Go Around (2/9/01) Okay, so Apple's stock price is hovering near the $20 mark, which is a substantial improvement from when it bottomed out at about $13 a couple of months back; still, it's tough to argue that the company is anything but troubled...
