    I hope this is an indication that Woz supports OS X. He was the thrust that made Apple what it is today. I know, I know, you could agrue that what Apple is today is what NeXT Step was 10 years ago ( Steve Jobs started). But Woz was really the forces that brought Mac's to elementary schools nation wide. Maybe now we can start to bring that back

      He's publicly commented before that he likes both OS X and some of the current crop of hardware.

      Personally, I'd rather wait for the speech where he shows the cellphone/PDA that he's working on that Apple will be licensing ;-)

    Yeah, I heard he's going to be touring with Leonard Nimoy (of "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" fame) and Bill Clinton (famous for having played saxaphone on a national TV show).
