I was a little bored this morning and was thinking about my trip to San Jose next week, when I thought that I should invite Steve Jobs out for a drink.
He always seems like a bit of a lad really, so I'm sure that he'll be more than happy to go for a beer or two.

Hi Steve,
First off, my apologies if you receive this multiple times; you don't publish your email address, so I had to just guess.
My name is Nathan, I work for a fairly typical dot com in Tokyo, Japan. Yes, I'm a long time Mac user, and more recently, a developer. But that's not why I'm writing.
I'll be in San Jose at Foundry's HQ for a week from the 12th to the 18th doing their "advanced router course" thing, and assuming you have time, I'd like to meet up for a drink or two. No specific agenda, no axe to grind, whatever. Just a customer who has been using your products for the last 10 years who would like to say "thanks".
If I could buy everyone at Apple a beer, without having my Visa card go nova, I would. I guess buying the CEO one will have to do.
Best regards,
Nathan Ollerenshaw
ps. Just in case you don't drink beer, I'm not adverse to buying you a feed. "Feed" is Australian for "dinner". You can choose, but I will retain veto rights ;) pps. Bring Jonathan Ive if he'll come, love his work. ppps. If Woz wants to come, that'd be cool too.
