Hope he's okay! Woz is one of the few giants of the tech field who genuinely seems like a good guy.

A story I like about him is that he used to get money in sheets from the US Treasury. All still legal tender and you can do this too. He’d tear off a bill and hand it to whomever he was paying and they would be confused.

So yah, he seems like my kind of guy.

Can confirm! I still have my 2$ bill from Woz.

Woz may be the nicest person I’ve ever met. I hope he’s ok.
