"Except in Nebraska!" Does anyone have a reason why Nebraska would be singled out?

It makes me sad that those features seemed advanced, when something as complex as the Sketchpad had been created a good amount of time before. (more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchpad)

(Note: Its not completely related, but its just that the Sketchpad seemed to me much more advanced than what had Stevy here so excited)

I can't find a source at the moment, but I remember reading more about this a few years back. IIRC it was made as a joke for an internal company conference, or something along those lines.

Good old Microsoft — selling features instead of benefits. Some things never change.

It's a shock that the same company who brought us Windows could also make the Xbox. Without J. Allard, I worry about its future.
