Irrelevant to most, but the tangled mess of network cables behind the "Woz" in the interview really ticks me off. I'd love to have a word with the network folks there.

It was filmed at the Computer History Museum, so it's like that on purpose. Though, it doesn't look like this is the one, I know that they have one of Google's original racks which looks about as messy. (as seen here: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/03/building-a-computer...)
That's a CDC 6600 arm you're looking at, not a rack. They were limited by wire length (longer wires increased latency).
