In harmony with Silicon Valley, a nearby university, and a popular fruit-named computer company, Palo Alto cultivates an arrogance and narcissism that I would not describe as "underwhelming". So I'm completely unsurprised that Il Fornaio's pitch would resonate with Jobs and that he would quote it verbatim. Be that as it may, a number of cool things - and successful companies - have in fact come out of Palo Alto. And you can meet some interesting people there. I believe you can still catch Pac-4 football games there as well. Il Fornaio and Palo Alto might also have been better in 1990, when Jobs quoted his pitch.
