And on a geeky note, does Steve have a version of iChat that works with 8 users, instead of 4.
Do you think their board meetings are all held over iChat, as they all seem to be very busy people in many different other lines of work at the same time. I can't imagine how hard it must be to get them all in the same room.

No, they'll use an IM client that actually works
I'm pissed off with iChat at the moment
