A Personal Demo from Steve Jobs to a 9 year-old

David Sheff for Playboy:

“But more revealing was the scene after the party. Well after the other guests had gone, Jobs stayed to tutor the boy on the fine points of using the Mac. Later, I asked him why he had seemed happier with the boy than with the two famous artists. His answer seemed unrehearsed to me: ‘Older people sit down and ask, “What is it?” but the boy asks, “What can I do with it?”‘”

I wonder who this man is that got this demo, and if he remembers it.
