Loved every word of that, great guy!

"The best things I did in my young years leading up to the early Apple computers were done because I had little money and had to think deeply to achieve the impossible."

On a side note, I think this is why more (and arguably better) hackers come out of Eastern Europe/Asia.

Yes having only "little money" forced Woz to really focus, think and experiment. However, I'm sure living in the same neighbourhood/city as people from IBM, Intel, HewlettPackard, etc wasn't bad either ;-)

Oh clearly! And how much easier it was back then to simply walk into HP for example, and talk to these people directly.
