Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak visited the remodeled Computer History Museum at Mountain View on Thursday morning, kindling a lot of enthusiasm for the opening exhibit, “Revolution: The First 2,000 Years of Computing.”
Saying that he was no historian, Wozniak, in the course of a morning, went on to illustrate the incredible hold of technology, which he said has been the most important part of his life.
Walking through the modernized museum’s debut exhibit, Wozniak paused in between to point out computers about which he had read in his childhood, and worked on during his college years, before eventually ending up designing the machines himself. With apparent nostalgia, Wozniak said: “Every one of those little devices that I talked about meant so much more to me than I can put into words.”
During his tour, which was fun as well as informative for the Apple fans and the mediapersons alike, Wozniak also stopped to talk about the massive IBM RAMAC disk stack, the Control Data Corp. 6600 supercomputer, and the Data General Nova minicomputer.
Wozniak stopped at the Apple-1, Apple’s first computer, and said that he had designed it not to make money and start a company, but essentially to speed up the world advancement in the social revolution.
As he walked over to the Apple II on display, Wozniak said: “This is my real gem; the greatest design of my life.”
