  1. 1.) Nice circuit-board, Woz, but who decided on the teak sides for the Apple, the thing we retrospectively call "the Apple I"? For all I know there were dozens of prototype-ish models out there in about 1967. The teak-sided one I saw was on a small Upper East Side network put together by the National Science Foundation, Alvin Toffler and Amitai Etzioni being two of the networkers.* 2.) I really love that bit about redesigning it to have five drilled holes instead of eight. One of the biographies of John D. Rockefeller has him critiquing a guy soldering the tops on oil cans and saving two drops of solder. "But my goodness, I saved millions that way" is roughly what he is supposed to have said. * Around that time, Etzioni wrote an article in I think Harpers, in which he touched on the subject of memory. He said, "Some things you never forget, like the list of German prepositions which take the (ablative, or nominative or some damn thing), 'aus, auser, bei, mit, nach, zeit, tsu.'." He forgot von.
