It's not critical of Woz but it does re-seat him as a peripheral figure. I was surprised given the other things I've read. I'm not asserting it as the "truth" but it was a different take.

- branchless 10y agoNot at all, I'm pointing out an alternative source, nor am I "taking a dump" on him. I phrased it quite tactfully I thought. If you want to be a fragile zealot, afraid of alternative sources which I asked if you had read, go ahead. In fact at the cost of worshiping one person as "the creator/first" of something we have the loss to history of the role the engineers at Commodore played. That's why it's important to question this stuff.
