When I went to Genius training in Cupertino back in early 2008, Woz came by the retail training labs and took 4 of us to get hamburgers in his Hummer. I remember he bought extra burgers for his dogs and had a machined metal business card. Just a helluva nice guy, shot the breeze about all sorts of stuff. Real nerdy, Nixie tube watch and all =)
Hope he's alright.
According to Jobs‘ biography he was the guy who wanted to give out the blueprint for the Apple I for free. He truly is a treasure
Yeah, Woz really is a nerdy engineer with a heart of gold who never wanted to be famous or outrageously rich, he just wanted to make cool stuff for his friends and to challenge himself.
Best kind of guy. It’s well known he gave away most of his early Apple stock to employees he didn’t feel got enough credit for the work they did. Which… ask yourself how many technology executives would ever consider doing that? 😮
