There have been many re-takes at the revolution of personal computers, but if you ask me to name its pioneer, only one name comes to my mind, Steve Wozniak.

Steve Wozniak
Mr. Woz does not need any introduction. He along with Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer in 1976 that had only 2 major backings: One Steve Job’s mesmerizing energy and two Woz’s knack of technical things.
Woz first showed off his home-built computer, the Apple I and soon followed with the machine that made the company, the Apple II. He single-handedly designed all its hardware and software. It was an extraordinary feat even for the time. Moreover, he did it all while working at his day job at Hewlett-Packard.
The Apple II was the machine that brought computers onto the desks of ordinary people. The reason it did was that it was so miraculously well designed.
Other than this, Woz is popularly known for his pranks. Through his book called iWoz, he has fantastically jotted down his life and his pranks give you insight at his cool attitude.
Steve Wozniak has set examples of what a true engineer is.
We feel more than proud to announce that we will be featuring Mr. Woz on the CE-Small Talk on February 01, 2011.
Watch out for it in this space!
