that's an interesting interview. the only other stuff i know about Wozniak is what i saw on a program about "Phreaking" a while ago. always good to learn a bit about the history of Apple. :)

Intresting that many of the events in the movie are accurate..."How much of it really happened and how much was fictionalized? (journalist)
Every one of the events happened. Every one of them. That's what shocked me." -Woz

But it's funny because, sometimes, I'll report something that's serious -- just not working -- like [a new drive] just doesn't work with Apple's new PowerBooks. And, sometimes, I get told: "Oh, you're wrong. No, everything works." And sometimes I'll get the top manager at Apple: "Oh, yeah, they work fine." They work fine if you've got some special set-up program, but not what Apple ships.
V. interesting...:rolleyes:

Every time I read anything with Woz, I get knocked back by how down to Earth he is. Great interview. Waiting for part two.

Here in Norway it was on Canalplus a year ago or so. Actually before I got my first Apple computer, I have two now.
Carter from ER is doing Jobs, and Bill Gates and Balmer has some decente actors as well.
The movie was fun, but I have no idea how accurate it was.
