An Evening with Steve Wozniak 

Man this guy doesn't get enough credit as much he deserves.

It's fun to listen to an engaging character expounding on his passion. Woz is a nice man. I'd love to see him in person.

"Wherever there's smart people, they leave the door open." - Steve Wozniak.

Laying out a board while listening to him is just perfect.

Woz is the inventor of the personal computer! He is amazing! As for Jobs he had the spiel that introduced it to the world! Great pair up but Woz is the genius.

Woz is a legend, kudos

Fun days when younger for Steve, as with all of us! as you get older and responsibilities set in, the fun just goes away. You can tell he was in that not so sociable type crowd when he was younger,and you can see how wonderful of a guy he is when given a chance! Never judge a book by its cover! always give someone a chance! Thanks for the memories Steve Wozniak! What a gem amongst us all!

Woz starts talking at 11:25.

Hah! Tom Swift Jr. books... those were the bomb! What couldn't Tom Swift build? How many future engineers was Victor Appleton (I & II) responsible for? Woz is truly inspirational, what a guy!

its very sad that his stories end when apple went corporate

Surprised he pronounced Moog wrong. It’s pronounced MOHG. We built tv jammers in high school electronics. I made the smallest one by soldering all the parts to each other directly instead of using a PCB. I put it in a tiny ring case I found in my moms room. It was about 1”x1”x1”. Had a toggle switch and a power LED. It was pretty cool. I sold it to a kid for $10.00. Good times.

Woz IS Apple

you can tell this guy is passionate , so much so that it is contagious

Best interview I've heard of Woz and how he designed the Apple 1 & II computers. Love how his description of building his super simple floppy drive controller. I remember adjusting the drive speed on an Apple IIe using the strobe disk on the drive pulley. Good times back in the old days. No internet, no viruses, little software available, but computers were all so fresh and new, with different vendors offering their latest and greatest every month it seemed.

I love how he says how his early projects didn't work. Perseverance baby.

Very captivating!

thanks for this wonderful upload. it's hard to overstate the importance of this man and effect he's had on millions of lives. Woz is god. :)

Just got a ham radio because of Woz

Woz = a Genius.

Funny thing that... The Tom Swift Jr. books that Woz says he liked to read were written by Harriet Addams under the pseudonym Victor APPLEton II. Would that be where the company name came from?

Man, Wozniak is awesome!!!

Woz was ahead of his time: "move fast and break things" could have described his activities sometimes. He didn't want to break things, but when you're a kid, you don't always know you're breaking things.

Wiz has to be the nicest classiest guy ever!

He's like a GOD that knows what we want!

Does he has talks for kids? He wanted to and have taught in elementary schools.... May better if we have his talks and lessons for kids...

man i love this guy

270p in 2022 ??! guys, PLEASE redo the tape and get us some higher def. thanks!

now I know where the swift language name came from

11:27 start

I love you Woz

I must read iWoz NOW!

Genius

@Commodorian Your absolutely right. Peddle and his team were the real genius.

brilliant!some people r just blessed!

Seth & Woz were GREAT ! --Docent @ CHm

Wozniak is the man

Where I come from we say "square root" not "square root". Still think your great Woz :)

What a contrast: the LOWEST tech for the video documenting one of the earliest highest tech guys. :)

Some interesting details about how a dedicated person, or a "nerd" if you will, persists along a path, makes mistakes and inventions and finally finds his way. It is worth comparing his travel to the one of some students of the 70s. Wozniak went from electronic components to a language interpreter and game design. More or less at the same time, some students came from language theories, discovered ahead-of-their-time computers (such as the Xerox Alto) then created new programming languages and new computer usages (such as gaming). I tend to think people such as Steve Wozniak helped a lot making computers affordable by taking advantage of new integrated circuits while other people brought modern programming techniques (portability, objects, concurrency, etc). It's like they came from two planets then mixed their work and produced modern computing. This video should be remasterized, improved in resolution, audio fixed then re-uploaded.

Steve Jobs is a commercially smart fellow who knew exactly how to exploit the genius of his technically smarter friend. No point in debating who is greater. With out each of these smart guys, the closest association of the word “apple” to science and technology may be perhaps the story of that fruit causing a bump on Sir Issac Newton’s head. (Which is, BTW, just a story)

why is the audio only coming out of the left channel i have to reconfigure my settings just to listen to this normally lol

Great video, but I wish the sounds was better, I couldn’t make out most of it.

Superb presentation. Shame this was recorded so poorly.

Wozzzzzzzzzzz ruuuuuuuuuules!!!!!!!!!!

My left year enjoyed this

Is this video mono (left channel) or is my sound just not operating correctly?

Lighten up. He is "chaotic good". If we did not have people like this there would be no progress. Rules and laws change because good people like this challenge them. Most of your little world was created by people like this. I'd say that's pretty good.

isn't the utube limit 10min..lol..very nice!!!!

I could fix this footage is you like. It's a shame to loose the value of his talk because of audio

at 1:14:0 who was that person?

Psst, Steve starts talking at 11:23 : )

Perfect

Woz! Please put your video pranks on RU-vid!!

who is we?

Hey all

Typical socialist vs capitalism debate. I'm with Woz in that its all about the journey and collaboration. The best products allow open source upgrades.

these videos are too long but interesting

thid guy shud be richer than bill gates.

Audio and video are way out of sync. Forgivable for an amateur, but these guys are supposed to know what they're doing.

Woz dont need no damn neck anyway

11:32

@22ness0hayden Perhaps, but it's as if I was saying that without Chuck Peddle from MOS/Commodore (who developed the affordable 6502), Apple wouldn't have been Apple. Besides, Peddle and his team were also real genius, but they didn't have a Steve Job with them. Woz was doing it only for fun! Jobs created the name and made a real business out of it. So my point is, Apple would've existed without Jobs but could have most likely existed without Woz. But we'll never know don't we.

1:01:55 lol

Really? That's all you got out of this? Great things are created and done by rebels. Thank God there was not a concept of politically correct weinership at this time in history!

The introduction before Woz is waaay too long.

Wozniak was a freak, no doubt about it. But as good as he was, there were thousands as brighter as him. He must/should wake up each night to thank Steve Jobs for making things happen. Today, I think we can say Apple could have been born without Wozniak or be anybody else in his place. We can't say the same for Steve Jobs. He was Apple, he is Apple. Jobs had the tougher 'job'. There are hundreds of great products out there but there are only a few who can market and sell it right.
