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.
But when the men around him were throwing around terms he'd never heard, Intel 8080, 8008, 4004, they were waving around a magazine with something called the Altair on the cover.
These weren't TV terminal people.
These were computer people.
Wozniak, an HP calculator designer who built games on the side, felt completely out of place.
I felt so out of it, Woz remembered.
Under my breath, I'm cursing Alan.
I don't belong here.
When the introductions came around, he mumbled something about working at HP on calculators.
He stayed only because he was too shy to leave.
But at the end, someone passed around data sheets for a microprocessor, the Intel 8008.
Wozniak took one home, figuring he'd at least learn something from this awkward evening.
But that night changed everything.
