Last week, Marlina & I joined the folks from my old company Genesis Systems, for a fancy-ish dinner for the first night of Infotec. It was a fun evening, with the definate highlight being Steve Wozniak, of Apple Computer fame, giving the keynote. He talked quite a bit about his childhood, how he grew up tinkering with "chips", and how he grew that passion into the first personal computer. An interesting guy, and a heck of a story.
Here's an article that touches on many of the things Woz talked about.
