Well, like I said... it was a different venue than the one you linked, I was physically there...

Maybe his exact words were something more like: "I took the initiative in creating the Internet"...

But I do remember it was like a wave when he said it - it seemed like the entire audience (the graduating class of M.I.T., '96, and friends and families), all, at once looked around at each other with a "Did he really just say that?" look.

The story of Moses and the rock that sprung water came to mind.
