I live in Silicon Valley and adore all about this place. The story of a dual STEVES is internal fable and The Woz and Jobs are a drastic icons, people a kids aspire to emulate.
I became an APPLE FREAK in 1984 when we purchased my initial Macintosh to lay-out my Silicon Valley Union newspaper. That small appurtenance (with a 10-inch screen) saved me $1500 monthly in lay-out fees (with a assistance of PageMaker) ... and that ain't "chicken feed." Thanks, Apple!
That's a prolonged time ago and given afterwards I've left by a Liisa, a Classic, a Quadra, and am now regulating an iMac. I've created 8 books with a assistance of Mac, dual in print, one due out in November, 2005. Thanks, Steves!
But as good as we consider a computers are, a group behind them are even greater. we don't know Jobs, though I've met The Woz on several occasions and he is not usually a smarts behind Apple, he's a "genuinely good, caring man." Ask anyone in a Valley about him. As one small example, he unselfishly authorised me to use him as a impression in my kids book, THE TOONIES INVADE SILICON VALLEY, and it's a demonstration to review about him romping around with animation characters and genuine kids perplexing to save a universe from a "bad" Toonies. That's only one instance of his generosity; he has contributed to many free and educational institutions in Silicon Valley and beyond. Thanks, Woz!
One other thing we admire about Steve Wozniak is that he has always desired to tell jokes (and, YES, to lift unsentimental jokes on people too). I've been perplexing to locate a fun book he wrote years ago. Go, Woz!
To learn about this conspicuous man, from age 11 when he built his initial computer, review this book. It's an interesting, ominous reading pleasure.
