New Interview with Steve Wozniak

The Early Years

Thanks that was cool. Here's a Keynote the Woz did for the 5th hope. It's in MP3 format, very fun and gives a lot of history.

I like listening to Woz talk about the early days.

He is such an engineer - hey, I like that pong game - think I'll build one.

And I had forgotten about the infamous phone phreaks.

Thanks for the links - I enjoyed listening to them.

Here's the second installment of the interview - "Creating the Computer of My Dreams"

bfh,

I guess one thinks this is really cool history or not. I think its fascinating. My brother and I spent many hours sitting around in a Shakey's pizza joint drinking pitchers of beer and putting quarters into the pong machine.

I spent hours playing a pong football game on a handheld, not much bigger than

a calculator at that time. I found this was a great way to while away the day when

I was hung over and didn't have the energy to do anything else.

A couple years later it was on to Centipede...

Although not being the Woz, or an engineer for that matter, I didn't decide to build one for myself!

I like these interviews with Woz, not only for the history, but because I like the Woz.

He strikes as a warm, friendly, open kind of guy, someone you could have a beer with, unlike Steve Jobs.

I think Woz would sit there and tell all kinds of stories about his adventures in the early days.

How fun would that be?

Beer and stories with The Woz :)
