Re: Steve's new book "IWOZ"

I just stayed up until 1:00am to watch Woz talk about his now book on
the Colbert Report.  I wish I didn't, it tarnished my view of a
childhood idol.  Woz made himself look like a bumbling idiot.  He
stumbled over his words, and wasn't very coherent at all during the
entire interview.  Cobert at one point asked "are you sure you invented
the personal computer, or is this some kind of joke."  Sure its a
comedy show, but thats what Woz set himself up to.

Woz mentioned that this was his second book, his first being a computer
joke book.  Cobert asked him to say a computer joke, and Woz had
trouble coming up with one.

I won't be suprised if the interview pops up on YouTube soon, so you
can see for yourself, if you missed it.

Google would have told you this:

The way he acts does not surprise me, I met him many years ago at an Apple convention in San Francisco, he is not very good with a lot of people or being asked questions, he also tends to say what he means right out, remember he is a computer geek. I remember how I was in high school, I was really into electronics, and really did not deal very well with people, that was over 40 years ago.
