Interesting Tidbits (From past issues)

Think Different or Think Again Thanks to Gordon Bobbett for the photo My question is this: What do you think of your photo being hoisted up, looming high over route 280 on the side of the Apple building? I was surprised when they took the iMac down and put you up. It's a great photo. I'm also curious to know what you think of the "Think Different" campaign, and what kinds of talks, if any, took place between you and Apple to have your photo used for the ad. ...Woz's Reply

• Atari and Breakout, The Real Story
  My name is Bill Hunter, and I run a website called "The Dot Eaters", which chronicles (or tries to, anyway) the history of videogames. I'm currently refining the entry I have for Breakout, and I was wondering if you might be able to confirm a couple of questions I have about this game and yours and Mr. Job's connection to it and Atari. For instance, there is a tale that while you assembled the hardware for the game, you only received 350 dollars for your efforts while Steve pocketed a cool $5000 or so. And it is also believed that when you first saw Atari's PONG, the first successful arcade videogame, you immediately built your own version that would put "OH SH*T" (asterix mine) up on the screen when the ball was missed.

• Woz's High Flying Score
  I was looking through my old Nintendo Power magazine's when I came across one from January 1991. I took a look inside at the player's pulse and I saw Steve "Mr. T" Wozniak from Los Gatos, CA wrote a letter. I read it over and you got some pretty impassive scores. You said you got a high score on the Concorde between London and New York.. ...Woz's Reply
