Macworld Interviews Woz
inkswamp writes "Interviews with Steve Wozniak are always a fun read (mainly because he is one of the few legends in the computing industry with a real personality, IMO) and this online-only Q&A on Macworld is no different. It's pretty exhaustive and seems to cover a lot of topics, including more of the by-now overly examined beginnings of Apple, and Woz's current projects."
That's why I love to read these interviews.
Also, because he was such a ground-breaking pioneer, at a time when a guy with a soldering iron & his brain could come up with something really innovative. The way that he squeezed every last bit of functionality from the circuits that he had to work with at the time is truly an example of Edison's "99% perspiration".
"Send an Instant Karma to me" - Yes
I recognize the first number as being something over in Saratoga probably, but I've never heard of a joke line. (Of course considering that I wasn't even born when you were in middle school maybe that has something to do with it.) But you touched on something that can't be overlooked about Woz. He donates more computers to schools than anyone else I have ever heard of. Anyone who has gone to public school in the south bay probably has used a computer either he personally or Apple donated, especially anyone from the Los Gatos school district.
