The University of California, Santa Barbara, California presents:
An Evening with Steve Wozniak – From Computer Geek to Cult Icon, and a Personal View on What Comes Next
Tech guru and philanthropist Steve Wozniak helped shape modern technology when he single-handedly designed and built the Apple I and II, effectively inventing the personal computer and co-founding Apple Computer with friend Steve Jobs. After then earning his college degree and receiving the President’s National Technology Award, “Woz” retired from Apple and went on to invent such “universally” employed items as the universal remote and to co-author the recent memoir “iWoz – From Computer Geek to Cult Icon.” He will address current technology and what’s in store for future generations.
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
Ticket prices:
• General public $16.00
• Student/Youth $11.00
Steve Wozniak will discuss his experiences in computing and his thoughts on the future of information technology at the Arlington Theatre on Wednesday, April 2, at 8pm PDT.

Sometimes we laugh at our own headlines. Other times, we shudder. This one caused both. No offense, Kathy.
Woz can only say “I WAS” Jobs is “I WILL”
I met Woz in the 90s when Apple launched the Apple IIc+. Nice guy.
Hmm… It’s 2008. Is Woz really relevant to Apple or technology today?
He seems to gripe more about progress, particularly Apple’s, yet wants to ride on Apple’s coattails when it means he can look good or make a bit of money.
As far as Apple goes, he’s an interesting footnote. He was a great pioneer, but isn’t doing anything currently that’s worth a second look.
Woz is just as important as Jobs when it comes to Apple overall. If Woz didn’t invent the Apple 1 or 2 then Jobs would have been able to latch on to it and make a viable business from it.
And Woz would still be at HP making calculators or something.
They are equally important. Now, Jobs is solely to thank for the new Apple golden age we’re in now.
Woz is a has-been. Stop fawning over someone who gave up mid career.
His status as one of the founders of Apple, the original technologist, gives his opinion weight.
While he isn’t involved in the day to day he has nonetheless maintained a high degree of involvement with information technology.
This alone gives him more credence than the vast majority of “Leo Laportes” running around spouting off, let alone the so called analysts that spew meaningless crap on a day to day basis, not to mention us Mac Dorks looking for something to suck on all day.
Why would I. His technology is not old enough to be wowed by it…as compared to Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, etc.
I am sure he is a nice guy but apart from his early success, what has he done that I would be so interested in??
It seems that everyone easily forgets the challenges that Woz encountered from that horrific plane crash. He’s lucky to still be alive and functioning in ANY capacity. We can only imagine what could have been had Woz and Jobs both been functioning at FULL capacity. Stop your complaining about Woz UNLESS you’ve already walked a mile in his shoes. Let’s put you through the exact same challenges and see what you contribute to society. Has been…what are you now?
Woz, was Apple, and as such he can say what he likes about Apple – good, bad or indifferent … as long as it has the principle of truth behind it.

You sux – for determining life in a shallow and superficial way.
What have you losers ever done that would match his place in history?
In my opinion, people who write ‘sux’ are losers.
You presume none of us have done anything to make the world a better place.
She’s still alive?
Buster – Okay, share YOUR contributions to society other than providing disparaging remarks about others. This should help us in clarifying our presumptions about you.
