Oh Woz, I'd wait in a line for days just to talk to you.

Being a technical man, I'm surprised in how he reacted to those 'technical terms' that were mentioned. Listening to this, I felt he knew exactly what Apple was/is and strives to be. If he still elicits respect from the current Apple camp, wouldn't he be a good choice to take over Steve Job's role? If not a CEO, an advisor? I say this not knowing a thing about corporate structure so excuse my ignorance.




If you are serious about wanting to connect with Woz he is remarkably accessible. He's a hopeless educator at heart - reach out to the guy.

I'm reading his book iWoz at the moment. In that he makes it clear he's never wanted to be a manager. He didn't/doesn't want to control other people etc. In fact, he only agreed to leave HP and join apple (after designing and building the apple I and II in his spare time) when he realized he could be in his own company and still stay as an engineer.
