     It was a very nicely written article. (The next time I edit an
Apple II magazine, Gary Wolf will have no problem getting assignments!)

     What did you think of the article's content? Since you know Woz,
how does the stuff in the article jive with your impressions?

     Partly, of course, I'm just curious about 'the guy who made the
Apple II'. Mainly, I'm wondering how someone who seems to champion the
notion of 'computers the user can master' can be satisfied with today's
PC? If you believe strongly in something, shouldn't you try to make it
happen?
