Woz was the chip guy! He's the one that would work endless hours to
eliminate one more IC from designs, at put velcro on the lid to make getting
in easy. Jobs was the one who came up with the torx-screw-secured Mac with
the GUI and mouse on the side!

The reason I use AIDS and cancer is because folks tend to overlook that
researchers working on these diseases and a million other worthy causes LOSE
WORK due to viruses. If nothing else, their e-mail is offline preventing
them from communicating with others!
One of the victims of an outbreak a few years ago was an adoption agency
working with eastern European kids (this would've been 1990 or so).
I agree COMPUTERS aren't as important, but the work done WITH computers is!
