Steve Wozniak Was My Computer Teacher in 1995
I'm roughly 14 years younger than Woz, and I grew up in Seattle reading about the exploits of the Steves.  While I started at a startup in Seattle at 17 years of age, I've never reached any real fame.  But I was always a fanboy of the men that built high tech, with Woz being one of them.<p>8 weeks ago, I returned to the Silicon Valley for a job, and I bought a house in the hills of Los Gatos.  After being here for a week, I was told that Woz lives up the hill a few house from mine.<p>I wake up every morning hoping to see him riding his Segway down the street, but I have yet to spot him.<p>Everbody wishes they could hang out with the Woz, and even though I'm 54 years old, I still have my heroes in the industry.<p>Woz is one of them.
