I’m Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak, Ask Me Anything
- jacquesm 11y ago> I never sought wealth or power, and in fact evaded it. > I was able to finish my degree in EE&CS and to fulfill a lifelong goal to teach 5th graders (8 years, up to teaching 7 days a week, public schools, no press allowed). Every time I read or hear about Steve Wozniak I like him more. > What are your thoughts on the FBI/DOJ vs Apple ordeal at the moment? Note his answer.
- danso 11y agoHave you read iWoz? I enjoyed it much more than the Jobs biography. Every thing I learn about Woz...from how he created Integer BASIC on pen and paper and demonstrated it to the Homebrew club [1] to how he got around Nintendo Power banning him from its top scores list [2]...only makes me admire him more. It's clear he probably wouldn't be famous if it weren't for Jobs (as Woz tried to give away the Apple I to HP, because he felt obligated to)...but Apple wouldn't have gotten the runway it needed without Woz's spectacular engineering and game-loving spirit.
