The Woz

The Woz

Steve Wozniak

"You didn't have to have a real specific reason for choosing

a name when you were a tiny little company of two people;

you choose any name you want." Soon, Apple was heard all over the world

I consider the WOZ as one of the most inspiring person in the computer world. The man behind the technical genius of the Mac mainframe, he is referred as the other Steve. Co-founder of Apple Computers, the computer world will not be where it is right now if not for the the WOZ..

In 2000, he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame and was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, The Economy and Employment for “single-handedly designing the first personal computer and for then redirecting his lifelong passion for mathematics and electronics toward lighting the fires of excitement for education in grade school students and their teachers.”
