Yes, in general some did, but that is not why Woz/Jobs were interested and to say otherwise is just showing your own knowledge of the subject.
- EthanHeilman 6y agoWoz/Jobs were also interested in making a business out of it. They were trying to mass produce blue boxes. That could mean selling the device to people who wanted to use if for other purposes.

There’s a huge difference between that and your prior libelous accusation that they intentionally went to bars frequented by mafia to sell them. Maybe rather than spouting fairy tales you dreamed up, you could actually read the article you linked and learn who they sold the few dozen of them they made too.

I probably got the stories mixed up with the other group that did sell blue box to mob bookies. If I could edit that comment to reflect that I would, but hn has turned off editing on that comment.
