“It is the day after the DVD trial, and three days before my
wedding. I’m sitting in a theatre that used to be the stable house
for the Villa. Villa Montalvo is the former residence of a early
1900s california senator. He donated it to be dedicated to the
advancement of the arts, sciences and music. Whether the Transmeta
launch falls into these cataogies is a bit beyond me, as I am
writing this before I’ve seen what in fact they have waited 5 years
to talk about.”
“Let me paint a scene for you. The theatre is stuffed with about
250 reporters, vvcs and corporate partners. Right now the
protograhpers are clusterings around the transmeta CEO Dave Ditzel
taking pictures as if he were a supermodel wearing the latest dolce
garbana.”
“This is theatre, really, I mean, people who have looked at
the transmeta website probably already both know more than the
people reporting here, and are probably wondering how in fact the
company can spend 7 hours of our time to tell us what could be
gleaned from a web page in minutes.“
