Has anyone read Steve Wozniack's autobiography, iWoz? I was thinking of buying it today. I remember listening to a keynote he gave (downloaded it from this one website that I think either Patrick Norton or Dvorak was talking about on TWiT once, forget what it was but it is a network with all kinds of keynotes available on it), and it was really interesting (mainly about his adventures with the hacker Captain Crunch). I love apple, and so it definitely has to go onto my bookshelf eventually.

Is it an interesting read? I love hearing him tell stories, so I thought it would probably be interesting.

I was wondering if he was going to lambaste Steve Jobs and Apple for kicking him out.  Or did he leave voluntarily?

Wiki: Wozniak ended his full time employment with Apple for good on February 6, 1987, nine years after setting up the company. However he still remains an employee (including receiving a paycheck)[4][1] and a stockholder [5]. He also still has connections with Steve Jobs.

I think Apple has been succesful long before the iPod, but yeah. Apple rules.
