Al Luckow and Woz
Woz and Al in Tokyo, straight-faced and probably in the middle of a practical joke.

Many people have contributed to Woz.org. The questions and answers are really what makes this site interesting.

Woz.org was originally just a few pages with a collection of links which was pretty standard for the web and ok at the time. It had (and still has) a "WozCam" which was set up and managed by one of Woz's old Homebrew buddies, Dan Sokol. But other than that, fairly low on content.

Woz always received a lot of e-mail and answered all of it personally. When the TNT movie "Pirates of Silicon Valley" came out, hundreds of e-mails with all sorts of Questions came pouring in. As always, Woz insisted on answering all the questions personally. He had forwarded a couple of these questions and answers to a friend, Al Luckow. Al thought, "Wouldn't it be neat if everybody could read these." That's when the marathon postings began with Woz and Al up late, posting all these questions and answers. The postings seemed to feed even more questions and then questions about the questions. Needless to say, it got pretty huge and we came up with a new architecture to hold all this stuff. Woz hosts and manages the web server and Al manages the web site.

Now there are over 777 individual html pages on the site. There is a constant stream of Mac Links coming in to be reviewed and added to the Mac Links page and folks are always e-mailing in schools for the yet to be completed Mac School Section.

It's pretty cool to be able to interact personally with, as Slashdot puts it, "the head nerd in whose shadow all others dwell". But the credit for this site really goes out to you, dear reader. For all your interesting questions and for remembering the man who changed computers forever.
