      @@sebastiancrossa Jobs was a key player especially in the late 90s, he learned a lot in his years ousted from the eventually failing company, and did come back to save it, but Woz was just a wizard in the late 70s and early 80s with technology, and I suppose it took a wizard and a visionary to make Apple.

They might not have as many features as andriod, but their focus on quality over quantity in my personal experience makes up for it. Either way, whether you like it or not, without Apple, the cellphone industry wouldn't have grown as big as it is today. Other companies already invented the smartphone, but apple was the first to make it cool, popular, and practical. They made it worth the price. Without them, there would be no S23 ultra, Pixel 7 Pro or whatever you use.

    Woz is such a good guy, completely full of wonder and kindness, on top of being just a pure genius. The day this man is no longer with us, will truly be a sad day to me. There is no doubt that this is maybe the most pure person the tech industry has. All the others, sure, genius in their own right - do not have that pure amazment and love for technology like Woz has. He never did anything for money, pride, or exploitation. All he wanted was to make wonderful things for people to learn, grow, and do things better.
    You really can't say that about anyone in the tech industry today.

    His humility combined with the desire to share music and other talents with children throughout his life has made him someone to truly admire - A techie, but without the greed or ego. He even waited in line with other customers outside of Apple stores to get the new iPhone on several occasions when he could have just gotten one ahead of time from Apple. Imagine being part of the Homebrew Computer Club back in the 1970s before all the money was thrown at personal computer development.

    That's a man that still is proud what he achieved with that "little" amount of memory 😂 tbh that was a fair amount back in the day I'm guesing?

    Macintosh 631cd
    Introduction Date: July 18, 1994 Discontinued Date: July 1, 1995
    Processor Speed: 33 MHz* Processor Type: 68LC040
    Details: *This model has a 32-bit processor and a 32-bit data path. Sometimes this model is designated as having a 66 MHz processor, since the clock input runs at 66 MHz. However, the processor itself is not "clock doubled," so technically it only is a 33 MHz processor.

    Wozniak touches it, a loud static discharge is heard and the motherboard is completely fried.

    I remember his explanation for making color for the first time and how he understood Helmholtz coils circuitry and how CRT monitors works, programmed it and BAM color video games viola!

    So great to see this video of Woz being reunited with the board that started Apple Computers. But I absolutely hate that zoom- split crap.

    Imagine showing Woz back when he was building that very motherboard that decades later, he'd be autographing it at a sale. I'd be curious to see what he'd say/do
