More quotes by Steve Wozniak
He [Steve Jobs] had come from the surplus electronics parts world.So he came from that world, and he said let's sell PC boards for $40. We'll build them for $20 and sell them for $40.

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
I worked with such concentration and focus and I had hundreds of obscure engineering or programming things in my head. I was just real exceptional in that way
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
My whole life had been designing computers I could never build.
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
Don't worry that you can't seem to come up with sure billion dollar winners at first. Just do projects for yourself for fun. You'll get better and better.
Steve Wozniak
Creative things have to sell to get acknowledged as such.

I wanted to be a fifth grade teacher because my teacher was so important to me and was giving me the education that was going to take me through life and through this world.
Steve Wozniak
At our computer club, we talked about it being a revolution. Computers were going to belong to everyone, and give us power, and free us from the people who owned computers and all that stuff.
Steve Wozniak
Most inventors and engineers I've met are like me. They're shy and they live in their heads. The very best of them are artists. And artists work best alone.
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
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
Steve Jobs had very strong feelings about what makes a company great, what makes products great. He more or less chose Tim Cook to be in that role, in that position.
Steve Wozniak
It's just not right that so many things don't work when they should. I don't think that will change for a long time.
Steve Wozniak
You need the kind of objectivity that makes you forget everything you've heard, clear the table, and do a factual study like a scientist would.
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
Like people including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have predicted, I agree that the future is scary and very bad for people. If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently.
Steve Wozniak
In the end, I hope there's a little note somewhere that says I designed a good computer.
