Clue Number Two: Guess the SolidWorks World Mystery Celebrity Speaker

As detailed in our previous posting, 3D CAD News is sponsoring a contest to see if anyone can guess the identity of the secret celebrity keynote speaker for this year's SolidWorks World. The entire marketing team at SW has now stopped all preparations for the event and are focusing their talents and resources on figuring out how this esteemed online journal learned this man's identity. Oops, we just gave out an unofficial clue, and eliminated 51% of the human race as suspects.

Today's official clue: He is afraid of heights.

6 - Bill Gates almost seems too obvious from the clues. My second guess is tobey mcguire (spiderman?) - supossedly, tobey is afraid of heights. have no idea why he would be the guest though. (Comment this)

7 - Please note that Randall has so far failed to reveal his secret even to his team of writers, and for once is enjoying the moment to wield power over the rest of us. (Enjoy it while you can!!)

So the guess, so far, from the Denver office of the 3DCN team, given the hint about the eyewear, is Harry Potter.
