    "Woz" serves up Apple Computer history in his own unique way. In this lecture and Q&A session, Steve provides a rational understanding of many of the innovations leading to early Apple designs. He looks at the early company structure, the personalities that influenced him, and personalities within the company. In addition, he discusses the reasons he wants to be an engineer for life but not a CEO. An entertaining, informative, and very personal view from one of the founders of a corporate and cultural icon.

      He got used by Steve quite a bit. But probably everyone did. And they both made loads so it's all good.

    Fun days when younger for Steve, as with all of us! as you get older and responsibilities set in, the fun just goes away. You can tell he was in that not so sociable type crowd when he was younger,and you can see how wonderful of a guy he is when given a chance! Never judge a book by its cover! always give someone a chance! Thanks for the memories Steve Wozniak! What a gem amongst us all!

    Best interview I've heard of Woz and how he designed the Apple 1 & II computers. Love how his description of building his super simple floppy drive controller. I remember adjusting the drive speed on an Apple IIe using the strobe disk on the drive pulley. Good times back in the old days. No internet, no viruses, little software available, but computers were all so fresh and new, with different vendors offering their latest and greatest every month it seemed.

    Surprised he pronounced Moog wrong. It’s pronounced MOHG. We built tv jammers in high school electronics. I made the smallest one by soldering all the parts to each other directly instead of using a PCB. I put it in a tiny ring case I found in my moms room. It was about 1”x1”x1”. Had a toggle switch and a power LED. It was pretty cool. I sold it to a kid for $10.00. Good times.

    Funny thing that... The Tom Swift Jr. books that Woz says he liked to read were written by Harriet Addams under the pseudonym Victor APPLEton II.
    Would that be where the company name came from?

    Woz was ahead of his time: "move fast and break things" could have described his activities sometimes. He didn't want to break things, but when you're a kid, you don't always know you're breaking things.

    Some interesting details about how a dedicated person, or a "nerd" if you will, persists along a path, makes mistakes and inventions and finally finds his way.
    It is worth comparing his travel to the one of some students of the 70s. Wozniak went from electronic components to a language interpreter and game design. More or less at the same time, some students came from language theories, discovered ahead-of-their-time computers (such as the Xerox Alto) then created new programming languages and new computer usages (such as gaming).
    I tend to think people such as Steve Wozniak helped a lot making computers affordable by taking advantage of new integrated circuits while other people brought modern programming techniques (portability, objects, concurrency, etc). It's like they came from two planets then mixed their work and produced modern computing.
    This video should be remasterized, improved in resolution, audio fixed then re-uploaded.

    Steve Jobs is a commercially smart fellow who knew exactly how to exploit the genius of his technically smarter friend.
    No point in debating who is greater.
    With out each of these smart guys, the closest association of the word “apple” to science and technology may be perhaps the story of that fruit causing a bump on Sir Issac Newton’s head. (Which is, BTW, just a story)

    Perhaps, but it's as if I was saying that without Chuck Peddle from MOS/Commodore (who developed the affordable 6502), Apple wouldn't have been Apple. Besides, Peddle and his team were also real genius, but they didn't have a Steve Job with them.
    Woz was doing it only for fun! Jobs created the name and made a real business out of it.
    So my point is, Apple would've existed without Jobs but could have most likely existed without Woz. But we'll never know don't we.

    Wozniak was a freak, no doubt about it. But as good as he was, there were thousands as brighter as him. He must/should wake up each night to thank Steve Jobs for making things happen.
    Today, I think we can say Apple could have been born without Wozniak or be anybody else in his place. We can't say the same for Steve Jobs. He was Apple, he is Apple.
    Jobs had the tougher 'job'. There are hundreds of great products out there but there are only a few who can market and sell it right.
