Need Help with PC Invention Research

[saengels@engmail.uwaterloo.ca (Steve Engels)]

Hi,

I'm doing a research project on the creative processes at work in 
technological innovation, and I was wondering if somebody out there could help 
me in my search for historical data.

I was wondering whether anybody knows what mental processes were at work when 
the Apple was first created by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. More 
specifically, I'm interested in finding out whether anybody know of any 
analogy reasoning, visual imagery, hypothesis techniques, abductive reasoning 
or any other mental strategies that were used in their invention of the Apple. 

Alternatively, if anybody knows how I can get in contact with Steve Jobs or 
Steve Wozniak (although I fully appreciate how unlikely this would be) that 
would also be ideal.

Thanks in advance,
