Mike customize its iBook and explain how he does on its web site.
Mike also bring this special iBook featuring Clarus at the WWDC 2001 and Steve Jobs smile at his iBook he says :
"It was fun at WWDC watching everyone do a double take when they saw my iBook. The first few days, nobody had seen an iBook so I was swamped with people wanting to play with it. Everyone loved it, and even though nearly everyone there had a Titanium, many of them were jealous! After playing with it they suddenly realized Clarus was in the apple.
[...]
Aaaaanyways, I was sitting in the front row at WWDC and I saw Steve Jobs take a peek at my new iBook when he was taking a swig of water on the sidelines and had a perplexed look on his face and later when he looked back he smiled. I didn't believe it at first, but 2 other people sitting in the front row near me later confirmed it - yep, Steve Jobs himself smiled at my iBook :-)"
