Re: New interview with Woz
I love this part of the article "Forget Jobs, Let's worship Woz!"
--------------------
Next to the Mac sat an old Apple an Apple II GS Woz Edition -- a limited run
of the last of the Apple IIs, named in honor of its chief designer. As I
reported at the time:
"Damer popped the lid to reveal the GS' motherboard. It's a classic Woz
design,' Damer explained. 'Few chips. Lots of slots. Open.'
"He gestured to the original Macintosh, the brainchild of Steve Jobs,
sitting on a bench nearby.
"'The Mac is from the same time but is the total opposite,' he said. 'Jobs
closed it up. You need a special screwdriver to open the case. No slots.
Closed and proprietary. There's the two cultures of Apple right there. One
open, one closed.'"
----------------------
Right on!
