Woz is so humble the host is trying to be to cool what a dick, Apple is the innovator of computers and yes all computers are Macintosh. Apple is just so far better then Microsoft windows copy cat crap !

Woz for president

amazing to have been in that group developing apple when it was nothing. he's the reason we have personal computing, essentially. legend

[Cernoise]

He sure does play Tetris a lot... I went to a concert with him once and he was playing Tetris the entire time (though occasionally stopping to freak out people with flashing LEDs on his teeth and laser pointers.) He told one girl he'd been in the high scores published in Nintendo Power magazine, and then mentioned giving GameBoys to Gorbachev and Bush... she didn't know who he was, so she said something like, 'Wow, you got to meet Gorbachev because you were in the Tetris high scores?' :D

another great interview

i can only feel slightly bad for people who don't really get Georges style of interviewing.

In the end i enjoy knowing where someone came from and what they have done rather then what they are doing in the moment, i can find that out anywhere.

[Jinnerz]

I think what George was saying is that Pc's were more popular back in the day, not that apple wasn't important. everyone i knew back in the early nineties who had computers all had PC's. but of course apple has always been innovative.

SquireCD I so agree the guy is a morron at 4:04-4:08 apple not a big deal!! Apple paved the way for the rest of computers E.G. before Apple all comps had switches and lights, and then came apple the first to use a keyboard screen and so on, and as we all know they have been that way since. If not for Woz and Apple we probably wouldnt be watching this today.
