You have to seek the simplest implementation of a problem solution in order to know when you've reached your limit in that regard.

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.
Steve Wozniak
Some great people are leaders and others are more lucky, in the right place at the right time. I'd put myself in the latter category. But I'd never call myself a normal designer of anything.
Steve Wozniak
I do not like to talk about the future. I don't like to be one of those people. It's so easy to have a very vague idea and say, oh, computers will be 3D-ish and then 10 years later I'll say I predicted it 10 years ahead. I don't think that's honest and I don't think that's valid and worth anything.
Steve Wozniak
A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.
Steve Wozniak
I just was non-political and didn't see myself as a person who could push people around, make their decision, you know, and tell them how lousy their work was.
Steve Wozniak
My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
Steve Wozniak
I hate to say it, and Apple never likes it, but I love anything that's hacker oriented. I don't like passing it onto others, or getting things for free. I don't like stealing music one bit, at all.
Steve Wozniak
Everything we did we were setting the tone for the world.
