 Rating:  - Great contrast to the Steve Jobs storyI bought this book about a year ago when I had recently been laid off and wanted to introduce some new ideals into my brain. I read the Second Coming of Steve Jobs, which showed how a man can be a cutthroat and succeed. iWoz however, shows how a man can find success doing something he loves, and not get hung up on money or power.

All is written in a very friendly way. I really recommend it. It's a piece of computer history, I think, all geeks should know. |
