EccentricAnomaly writes "Steve Wozniak (co-founder of the Wheels of Zeus start-up) is coming back to MacWorld after a six-year absence, and will be speaking as part of a panel discussion of Mac OS X. This is Woz's first speaking engagement at MacWorld in 10 years."

    In the last comments I've read from Woz on the subject he has stated he *does not* run Mac OS X because it's not polished enough for his liking.

    Steve Jobs (CEO of Pixar) was a childhood friend of woz... I hear they even went into business together selling phone phreaking equipment... They also did some other business selling fruit out of their garage...

    Hey, where are the nits about Woz not really being a co-founder of wOz but more of a founder because the other guys are all VC's? :) I mean, can a VC really be a co-founder? I wonder about that..

    Insightful!? I hate to rain on a poster's parade, but.. Jef Raskin might have a little somthin' to say about attributing the Macintosh to Woz.

    Apple I and Apple ][, yes... From there on out, it was various teams of engineers working on pet projects (Lisa, Macintosh, Apple ]|[)
