Speaking of Woz -- who the person most responsible for my involvement in the technology industry -- here's a very interesting interview with him on Slashdot.
For those that don't know, my fist celebrity interview was with Woz in the late 1980s. I subsequently asked him for some computers for our journalism department at West Valley College and he gave me $40,000 worth of Macs. Far beyond my biggest dreams and that donation impelled me to learn far more about the Mac than I ever would have on my own. I'll forever be in his debt.
I remember starting out the conversation hoping that he'd give us another Mac Plus to use. He got really excited and said we needed Mac II's and big screens and scanners and stuff. This was back when RAM was $450 a megabyte and our school had no hope of buying that for a small journalism department.
Oh, one other thing: I notice that Slashdot's community is anti everyone and everything. Does that really help the human race evolve? [The Scobleizer Weblog]
