Hey Keith, I saw a message here saying Woz wasn't with Apple anymore. Is this true? Does anyone else know anything about this?

I think that he draws a token salary of $1 a year or something, and he certainly owns a sh*tload of stock, but he hasn't been active at Apple for many years. He did some work on the GS, but that was it. I briefly talked to him after AppleFest in Boston; I was fortunate enough to be taking the same plane back to California with him. At that time, I found out that his plans for becoming a teacher were coming fruition. He intended to start this fall, but I don't know if that ever happened, or where he ended up taking a job.

Does >anyone else know anything about this? The way I heard it, Woz got tired of Jobs' obsession with the Mac (he's one of us...), and left. After Jobs hired Scully and Scully fired Jobs, Woz bought his way back in. He's obviously been hanging around a little; my computer has "Woz" written on it... With the money he's made, I don't see why he would NEED a job. -- fadden@zen.berkeley.edu [crashed] c60c-3aw@widow.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden) (Outgoing E-mail has about a 40% chance of successfully reaching you.

It might not be a question of wether or not he needs a job, but wether or not he WANTS a job. A lot of people would rather work then do nothing, as is often the case of lottery winners (after a few months of nothing). |--------------------------( Carl Boernecke )-------------------------| Send | UUCP: crash!pro-avalon!carlb InterNet: carlb@pro-avalon.cts.com | E-Mail | ARPA: crash!pro-avalon!carlb@nosc.mil ProLine: carlb@pro-avalon | to --> | ProLine [pro-avalon] - (619) 271-0131 - 300-2400 bps - 24 hours | |---------------------------------------------------------------------|

He DOES. He wants to teach, and in the worst way. He has dropped out of the public picture to get first his long-put-off BS (he has it now) and whatever graduate training is necessary for teaching. Picture it now... walking in to a CS/EE course in the future taught by ol' Prof Woz. -- * Charles Lord ..!decvax!mcnc!ecsvax!cjl Usenet (old) * * Cary, NC cjl@ecsvax.UUCP Usenet (new) * * #include <std.disclamers> cjl@ecsvax.BITNET Bitnet * * #include <cutsey.quote> cjl@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Internet *

As a matter of fact, Wozniak wants to teach third grade!
He spent the summer with a whole bunch of tutors, and Cup't
gave him an honorary certificate so that he could teach in his
son's school. Though I think he'll be assisting classes for a while...
He was inspired by a 5th grade teacher of his, and I think his
primary interests are with the younger kids...
It's too bad- I'd LOVE to take a course from Prof Woz!
