Yeah! Like a replacement.

If he comes out on a Segway any respect for him that I had (and it is very very little) will be gone.

The poll in the left column needs another selection: "Who gives a rat's ass?"

All you Woz haters are just jealous.

She's hot.

He may have invented my favorite computer, the Apple II, but there is no way I will watch this show. Forget about voting for him.

Gawd help us. Civilization is on the verge of collapse.

I always cringe when I see promotions for this show on TV. They dub Woz the "Mac Mastermind" when he had very little to do, in actuality, with the Macintosh (or any Macintosh for that matter). Yes, he was basically the reason Apple had anything to sell in the early days, but beyond that his contributions to the Macintosh weren't all that important (if there were any).

Lighten up, have a little fun.
It will get me to tune in, at least for a little bit.
With hundreds of other channels to watch, have fun with what ever you enjoy.

Look, look here... no not at the collapse of western civilization...look at the funny dancing man.

Y U think Obama got elected? To prevent a poverty riot.

I will watch until my cringe-quota is filled. It may only take a few minutes. More power to the Woz, though, 'coz even if I were marginally famous, I would never go on this show. Whatever it is, it takes guts, or total obliviousness. And dudes there'd be no mac without the original Apple.

I'm glad the 'weapon' ain't a Segway. He'd kill somebody.

Fro all the Woz bashers - it shall be interesting to see what the world says of you when you hit 58.

From all I've read, when I heard him speak once, the man has enjoyed his life, doing what he wanted to do. You can't do much better than that. Yes, of course, the money helped. But how many other millionaires went back to college after they made their fortune, or became public school teachers?

(For our Brit and Brit influenced friends, public as in tax supported. Not sure what you call them, since it is my understanding your "public" schools aren't. Feel free t ocorrect me here.)

I wasn't a Woz hater until I saw the picture of her.

@qka,
Yeah, in Britain a "Public school" is another word for a private school for those privileged few and obviously a few of the brightest, who get scholarships or partial scholarships get in each year but I guess it's the same in many countries.

The schools that are tax supported (and rich benefactor supported to some extent too) are called either comprehensive schools, city technical colleges or city academies.

who cares... *yawn*

Who cares about people who don't care... >yawn<

If Woz can't handle the stress, there might be a person or two willing to fill in, ya know.

I'm glad the 'weapon' ain't a Segway.

Could be worse. They could bring on Steve Ballmer.

MW: run. Indeed.

That shiny pink shirt really brings out his tits and gut in the video. How did they make him so trim in the promo poster? I know photoshop can work magic, but miracles?

Magic Word: Faith

Woz will be lucky if he doesn't have a stroke.

The secret weapon is the Integrated Woz Dancing Machine (IWDM).
