    Looks like Woz has come out of hibernation again. Two stories in one day? Must be the spring weather or something.

    It's biennial...

    Probably because most people can only afford one con a year, and most of the 2600 folks like going to CCC (which happens every year hope does not).

    The point is, though, is that he's the guy who really showed one of the fundamental issues of computer security: secure software is not enough. _People_ need to be security-concious as well.

    It's still a lesson people ignore to this day, so I don't think it's much of a stretch to claim him as a pioneer.
