More quotes by Steve Wozniak
The best things that capture your imagination are ones you hadn't thought of before and that aren't talked about in the news all the time.
Steve Wozniak
And Communist Russia was so bad because they followed their people, they snooped on them, they arrested them, they put them in secret prisons, they disappeared them.
Steve Wozniak
I think everything I have done in my life, my reasons at the time were right no matter how things worked out.
Steve Wozniak
The more we thought, the more they all sounded boring compared to Apple. You didn't have to have a real specific reason for choosing a name when you were a little tiny company of two people you choose any name you want.
Steve Wozniak
You have to seek the simplest implementation of a problem solution in order to know when you've reached your limit in that regard. Then it's easy to make tradeoffs, to back off a little, for performance reasons. You can simplify and simplify and simplify yet still find other incredible ways to simplify further.

I wanted to be an elementary school teacher my whole life.
Steve Wozniak
My goal wasn't to make a ton of money. It was to build good computers.
Steve Wozniak
I had much more money than you ever need in your life to live on. So I was giving computer labs to school districts. I was - but then I decided you should really give yourself.
Steve Wozniak
I think that the anti-Microsoft sentiment is simply due to their having been so successful selling a lot of crap.
Steve Wozniak
I'm also a fan with sticking with the most standard software that millions of other users also use, because you get the benefit of all those other users' problems and solutions.
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
It's funny how when you're up so late at night for so long your mind can get into these creative places, the kind of creative places that come to you when you're halfway between asleep and awake.
Steve Wozniak
After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.
Steve Wozniak
I really believe I know why my designs were better than any other human being, but I don't want to take credit for starting Apple, for turning the world around or anything like that.
Steve Wozniak
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
Steve Wozniak
I had a TV set and a typewriter and that made me think a computer should be laid out like a typewriter with a video screen.
Steve Wozniak
It's a lot easier to think of an app and write it than it is to convince people to want it.
Steve Wozniak
Well, I have many models of Prius that got recalled, but I have a new model that didn't get recalled. This new model has an accelerator that goes wild, but only under certain conditions of cruise control. And I can repeat it over and over and over again--safely.
Steve Wozniak
The Homebrew Computer Club was the highlight of my life. I was too shy to ever talk in the club meeting, but the way that I could communicate sometimes was by doing good designs. I was very skilled at a certain type of circuit design.
Steve Wozniak
In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.
