If it wasn't for the Woz, you-know-who would be barefoot at the beach
sipping wine-coolers paid for by rich old dames. 

The original Apple][ was a dream of a machine, open sourced in the red
(integer basic source code list and circuits specs) and blue book (I
think that had the Floating Point source-code listing and docs) as well
as complete logical diagrams of the circuitry. All right there and
shipped with every machine. Then Jobs stuck his fingers in, started
close-sourcing everything, starting with the Apple][+ and made it into
an appliance. Just wait, the iToaster, iDustBuster and the iFormansGrill
will be his next offerings. His followers will cheer madly. In case you
can't tell, I really despise the man. If Woz were to run the joint, I'd
buy one in a heartbeat. <chuckles> Ric
