You know what, Steve Jobs is real nice to me. He lets me be an employee and that's one of the biggest honors of my life.

If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you'll develop skills that other professionals don't have.

It's can you, Steve Wozniak, design the same computer - maybe it's a Varian 620i - can you design it on paper with fewer chips than last month? Can you design it with 79 chips instead of 80 chips? I had played this game so long that I had all these little tricks in my head that I can't even explain... Nothing was wasted; absolutely zero waste. I told this story recently to the Resource Recovery Association, recycling, and they loved to hear I didn't believe in waste.

Pretty much I want to be Steve Wozniak, who I decided I was at a young age and not change. I want to go back to school and get my college degree like I would have without Apple. I want to teach young kids like I would have without Apple. And part of it is I'm accessible. I'm open. And so many people e-mail me and get me. And as much as I can I try to answer people, listen to them, be polite and say yes.

Every dream I've ever had in life has come true ten times over.

I think that the anti-Microsoft sentiment is simply due to their having been so successful selling a lot of crap.

I wanted to be funny. And I'm always acknowledged for my pranks and jokes nowadays.
