Former Microsoft Geek blogger Robert Scoble is at the head of the iPhone queue in Palo Alto (see below) where he reports:
First of all, Bill Atkinson is in line here. He was Apple's first software developer. He wrote Mac Paint. Hypercard. Did the windowing system. And much more. Most historians believe he's one of the top software developers Silicon Valley has ever seen.
He's been telling folks in line all sorts of old Macintosh stories (he was on the original Mac team). We streamed his conversation live and it really was incredible.
Thomas Hawk of photo-walking fame has photos of Atkinson talking and other people (Kevin Rose from Digg, Don MacAskill from SmugMug etc) on Zooomr. Hawk is also chatting live on ZooomrTV.
Also in line? The Quicken Mac Team. Zooomr. Smug Mug. TechMeme. Quite a few others.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is elsewhere. "Woz is first in line at the Valley Fair store," says Scoble.
