This is a really nice interview — you get the real Steve here. Open, unadulterated and way, way too early in the morning.

“We had no idea what it would look like,” Steve Wozniak told me when we co-wrote his memoir, iWOZ: How I Invented the Personal Computer and Had Fun Doing It (W.W. Norton, 2006). Wozniak was first in line as usual — caught at dawn at the Westfield Mall, Century Plaza in LA. He sent me this YouTube video today.

His wife, Janet, works at Apple, too. “I wait in line,” he told me today, “for the same reason some people celebrate holidays.”
