Steve Wozniak Interview on Apple
NWSource publishes a brief Q&A session with Steve Wozniak, one of the co-founders of Apple Computer.
"I didn't want to start this company," said Wozniak, known in Silicon Valley simply as "Woz." "My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers. I only started the company when I realized I could be an engineer forever."
Wozniak reports that even he does not get a "heads-up" on upcoming Apple products and that he "would never ask" because he feels bad about "all the rumors and leaks from the inside [of Apple]." Woz also prefers to avoid the beta-hardware bugs and instead likes to experience finished products just like all the other consumers.
Woz also reveals he was only recognized once at an Apple store, and was given two 65-watt AC adapters for free.
According to the article, an autobiography entitled "I, Woz" will be published this fall.
