From: Werner Uhrig <CMP.WERNER@UTEXAS-20.ARPA> Steve Jobs is the "celebrity" interviewed in Playboy of Feb 85. 2 nights ago on CBS "NightWatch" an interview with Steve Jobs was announced, but it was actually Woz that was interviewed. He told some about his decision to leave Apple and start a new venture-company with several other "Exes", planning to join computers and Video-equipment into a totally new product-line. Today's newspapers repeated and confirmed the story. It's my understanding that Woz was not involved with Macintosh (even though I've heard the disk drive attributed/blamed to him), so there is no reason to wonder about an exodus from "a sinking ship", however, I would assume that some Apple stock will be sold to finance this new company. Does anyone know if Woz had any left-over after his concert-disasters? [don't you love my rumour-mill ??? ] one other interesting feature of the OverNight interview with Woz was that both this and last year's Superbowl TV-ad were featured. (so you missed it again ... ) -------
