This is explained in detail in woz's autobiography. I read it all in one sitting. Great book all around, and as an added bonus, I got to meet woz the next day after reading his bio, completely by chance. Weird.

Note to self: read Scarlett Johanssen’s autobiography all in one day

Cargo cult at its finest :-)

I remember feeling quite giddy a couple years ago when I got a personal response from Woz on a comment on a blog posting (about the 65816 and the IIgs I think). For some reason I never saved the URL or screenshot tho.

I never idolized Woz as a kid back in the 80s, but now I think he's a damn awesome guy.

Similar thing happened to me: I wrote a blog post circa 2005 about Woz and threw in that he wasn't much of an athlete, just figuring he didn't look like one. The very next day he posted a comment on my blog post pointing out that he had been a varsity pole vaulter at Homestead High. Woz U ROOL!
