Steve Wozniak, Part 2 Interview

Sarina's question at the beginning of the second interview is whether he preferred hardware over software. Woz explains that, when he was in early high school, he wanted a 4K computer but his father told him that would cost as much as a house. So Woz started to build his own however, he had to write the software too, and this meant writing line by line, by hand, on paper, and then typing in the 0s and 1s of the binary code.

By this time he was 16 or 17, and, as there were no computers at his school, he went to a local company that did possess one, to test his programs. The interview also considers how to choose a university. When Woz visited the University of Colorado, and saw snow for the first time, he "fell in love," and spent a year there, which was all his parents could afford given out-of-state tuition rates.
