PG also made this statement in May 2009 (iPad released April 2010):

What would be your dream setup?

I'd like it if the Air was about half the size. I don't know why Apple won't make something in between the Air and an iPhone...

When the Mac first came out, Newsweek asked me what I [thought] of it. I said: Well, it's the first personal computer worth criticizing. So at the end of the presentation, Steve came up to me and said: Is the iPhone worth criticizing? And I said: Make the screen five inches by eight inches, and you'll rule the world.

That's what he looks like? I don't know why I imagined PG to look a lot more like a bearded Unix-type ...?

pg is not the UNIX-type. He avoids systems-level stuff like the plague, as far as I can tell. rtm and tlb did the UNIX work at Viaweb and, I believe, rtm does the UNIX stuff for HN. pg is a smug lisp weenie (and I mean that in the best possible way). He's also a serious Apple fanboy, which the right and proper UNIX beards tend not to be.

yes, he is in fact Sir Paul McCartney's evil programming twin.
