I was lucky enough to interview Woz about his development of the Disk II floppy disk system for the Apple II – it's quite a tale! https://paleotronic.com/2018/05/19/steve-wozniak-talks-disk/

He's a wonderful fellow to talk to...



I was at a table alone in a room with him, we were both at some Ted Nelson event and we had gotten there early.

I talked to him for about an hour and honestly had no idea it was him. He just came across as a jolly tech guy. Totally friendly and down to earth. There was crafts service there so when he got up to get something to drink, he brought back something for me, you know, just like some nice guy.

It was only later when people were giving him such reverence and acted flustered around him asking for photographs that I was like "wait, is that ... Steve Wozniak?!"
