iWoz autobiography hits bookstores

“As teenagers, before they co-founded Apple Computer Inc., Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs would listen to Bob Dylan and the Beatles and debate which one was better,” Ellen Lee reports for The San Francisco Chronicle. “Dylan, with his soulful lyrics, won.”

Lee reports, “The two also pulled numerous pranks, at one point winding up in the back seat of a police car and talking their way out of getting arrested. And naturally they would dissect technology, from telephone systems to early video games to the first incarnations of the Apple computer.”

Lee reports, “Some of these stories are being told publicly for the first time in Wozniak’s autobiography, “iWoz: From Computer Geek to Cult Icon: How I Invented the Personal Computer, Co-Founded Apple and Had Fun Doing It,” which arrives in bookstores today.”
