I just returned home from the VCF east and was there for Chuck Peddle's 
video conference. Talk about a great guy. It was a thrill to see him live 
via video and hear the stories about MOS and Motorola and the beginning of 
the 6502. The KIM-1 was the first computer for the 6502 and was sold at the 
same time that they were selling the 6502 out of the hotel room for $25 
each. When Chuck mentiioned Steve Job's being one of the guys who bought a 
6502 that day it really made me realize that it was a small community back 
then.

An interesting thing is that Chuck said he stopped by the "garage" to help 
Woz get the Apple 1 working. I had never known that until Saturday.
