The inspiration came during a sleepless four-day and four-night design session while building the Atari game Breakout. "That was probably one of the biggest things Apple ever did," he says.-----Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder and philanthropist in conversation at the Discovery Forum 2010 with Emmy-award winning journalist Dana King from CBS 5 Eyewitness News.Renowned technology pioneer Steve Wozniak speaks to the importance of hands-on learning and encouraging creativity, and how the Bay Area Discovery Museum is a critical resource for preparing children for the challenges of the 21st century.The Discovery Forum serves to increase awareness about the importance of childhood creativity, and raises support for the Museum's educational exhibitions and programs. - Bay Area Discovery MuseumA Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist for the past three decades, Steve Wozniak, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Wheels of Zeus (wOz), helped shape the computing industry with his design of Apple's first line of products the Apple I and II and influenced the popular Macintosh. For his achievements at Apple Computer, Steve was awarded the National Medal of Technology by the President of the United States in 1985, the highest honor bestowed America's leading innovators.In 2000 Steve was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame and was awarded the prestigious Heinz Award for Technology, The Economy and Employment for "single-handedly designing the first personal computer and for then redirecting his lifelong passion for mathematics and electronics toward lighting the fires of excitement for education in grade school students and their teachers."Making significant investments of both his time and resources in education, Wozniak "adopted" the Los Gatos School District, providing students and teachers with hands-on teaching and donations of state-of-the-art technology equipment.

Aug 4, 2010 - to people who said there was an earlier pc with color....Wozniak has the patent. He invented it. People just love Jobs more than wozniak because wozniak is a nerd. People don't like nerds because they look stupid according to hollywood movies.

Nov 12, 2010 - I never forget Woz, he has showed me how a garage-geek can get very popular and well known, but still remaining as a good guy, unlike many others needless to mention. But they don't have the passion to technology like Woz has. And that passion shows.

Nov 21, 2010 - Unless that steve has the name starting with a ball and ends with mer, then the we don't bloody want even a single 1. No thanks you very much, the world would be so much better without monkey boy.
Telstar85 Says:
Nov 22, 2010 - That's a good point, But, Ballmer has had a few good points. One of them is "How much is Windows worth? $500? $1000? Even more? NO!" and the other one is "Developers, developers, developers ...." :)I shouldn't have summarized Woz and Jobs with a monkey, that's an insult, sorry about that!

Feb 9, 2011 - Makes me wonder why it took years to put colour into the Mac.
Jupitroid Says:
Feb 16, 2011 - My guess is that putting color capability into the Macintosh hardware would have driven the price up pretty high. When the Macintosh II came out the base system was $5200, but the completely color capable system was around $10,000. By the time it came out pros in printing and publishing were willing to spend that much for such a system. Early desktop publishing (which saved the Mac) got by on a mix of old and new methods which didn't require color computers.

rittwage Says:
Apr 15, 2012 - That is bullshit- there were S-100 color boards such as the Dazzler years before Steve "invented" it. I'm sure he saw them at the Homebrew Computer Club 2 years before the Apple I even existed.
