Steve Wozniak

The game was called Breakout.

They didn't sleep for four days.

Wozniak would draw the design on paper.

Jobs would wire the chips together then bring it back for testing.

Somehow they finished it.

Woz writes, the whole thing used 45 chips and Steve paid me half the 700 bucks he said they paid him.

They were paying us based on how few chips I could do it in.

Later, I found out he got paid a bit more for it, like a few thousand dollars than he said at the time.

But we were just kids, you know?

He got paid one amount and told me he got paid another.

He wasn't honest with me and I was hurt, but I didn't make a big deal about it or anything.

To Woz, the most important thing in life was happiness.

There's a passage in another part of the book, which I think relates to this part, where he writes, I was just starting to figure out that the secret to life, and this is still true for me, is to find a way to be happy and satisfied with your life and

also to make other people happy and satisfied with theirs.

March 5th, 1975.

It's a cold, drizzly evening in Menlo Park where 30 men are gathered in Gordon French's garage pulling up folding chair, their breath visible in the chilly air.

That was the day the computer revolution started.

It was the very first meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club.

Wozniak sat among them, regretting his decision to come.

His friend Alan had said, this was about TV terminals.
