I wouldn't ask him anything. I would tell him I like the brand alot.
It woud be interesting to see if he responds.
If you "bumped into" him in a public place it's be interesting to see how he responds.
Years ago I was coming back form Europe and saw Micheal Spindler at the baggage claim for an internationa; flight at SFO.
I went up to him and said "aren't you micheal spindler" and he got this very paranoid, suspicious look on his face and said"yeah, what do you want" - in a very negative, menacing kinda way.
I said I was an Apple user and Newton developer (true at the time) and that I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the products and 'Thank you'.
He backed off a bit -
I thought about that - was it becuase he was over tired from the long internatio0nal flight or conference?
who knows - but I later speculated that other "public fiugures" like Jobs or Ellison(whom I worked for at the time) might have a better sense of noblise oblige -
Spindler was gone from apple shortly after.
ahhh! maybe THAT was it ...
