Woz was never a hermit; instead, he took the money he made and did what
he wanted to do. He taught school for many years, because he wanted to pass his
love of learning on to the next generation.
He spoke at the Rochester Apple Users Group a few years ago on their
25th anniversary. He packed the auditorium at a local college, and he was
funny, insightful and generally happy with where he was in life.
Here's the interview he gave last night. Be sure to watch until the
very end.

That wasn't the interview I saw, but it was good.
My hermit comment was because of what I was told by someone who used to
live near Woz. I lived in Los Gatos back in the early 90's and one day
while driving around in the foothills above Los Gatos (a suburb of San
Jose, south of Cupertino) we passed a gated road. The guy that was
driving pointed it out and said "That's where Woz lives, who used to be
with Apple. He's pretty much a hermit these days, never leaves his home
from what we can tell."
Anyway, Steve's death has made me realize how lucky we all have been to
have lived in the times we have. The personal computer industry has been
very good to me, and while challenging, it has been fun, and
fascinating, to "grow up" with it and the luminaries like Steve Jobs and
Bill Gates...and the folks on this list.
Mike
