No Comment! (1/6/98)

Yet despite his triumphant keynote address, all was not perfect in Steve's day today. Shortly after his speech, he was interviewed on CNBC by tech reporter Bruce Francis, and the interview, shall we say, took a nasty turn. According to thessaSOURCE, when Francis wouldn't stop badgering Steve about the CEO issue, Steve decided it was time to leave.

"We weren't going to talk about this," said the harried (and hairy!) Steve, as he got up and left in a snit. Francis had repeatedly been asking about the CEO search, saying the many people felt that the whole thing was in "disarray." Apparently he couldn't just accept Steve's simple disagreement with that opinion, and when he pushed further and asked Steve if he had fully ruled out becoming the permanent CEO, Steve walked. We only wish we had seen it ourselves; we live for stuff like that.

C'mon, what's an episode of AtAT without at least one semi-childish and potentially-embarrassing public act by one of the major cast members?
