Actually enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. Very strange film though, parts of it were genuinely enticing but other parts were absolutely dreadful. I think where it fell down was in its determination to fit in famous anecdotes about Jobs, Gates et al which kind of jumped out at you and then disappeared just as quick as the narrative continued. I tell you what though, there is a definite really good film in here. I think Scorsese or Ron Howard would do a fascinating job. Kieren Flotsky,

Watched it last night. Actually enjoyed it far more than I thought I would. Very strange film though, parts of it were genuinely enticing but other parts were absolutely dreadful.

I think where it fell down was in its determination to fit in famous anecdotes about Jobs, Gates et al which kind of jumped out at you and then disappeared just as quick as the narrative continued.

I tell you what though, there is a definite really good film in here. I think Scorsese or Ron Howard would do a fascinating job.

Let me know if you'd like to know more e.g. press release or arrange an interview. - Steve Hi Kieren,

I just released my first documentary, In Search of the Valley, which also heavily features Steve Wozniak (who have us a lengthy interview). Let me know if you’d like to know more e.g. press release or arrange an interview.

If you need any more research material, might I suggest a look at the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168122/" rel="nofollow">Pirates of Silicon Valley</a>, which if you haven't seen it is the made-for-tv movie of the rise of Jobs and Gates, and is as close to a geek film turned into Dallas as you could ever hope for.

Yes, Wozniak is giving a talk at the Said Business School (about five minutes walk from my house). You have to get an invite. Hang on, I'll dig out the details. Here we go: Monday 23rd October at 12.15pm Mandela Lecture Theatre, Said Business School http://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/events/Steve+Wozniak+book+launch.htm I've been reading the book this morning btw. It starts off a bit dry but is starting to find its feet and now I'm looking forward to reading more. It's written with Wozniak as a first-person narrator.

Along with his views on the Atari days of "helping" Jobs out with some of his work. Can I ask if you know if he is in Oxford for anything in particular, like a speaking engagement or suchlike?

The idea of a minimal platform that is totally solid state. Ach- How could I forget; try asking W what he thinks of Negroponte’s £100 laptop for third world countries.

If you happen to work in a few questions about the early days: blue boxes and stuff. I would love to know about how the Steves <em>just knew</em> that a personal computer would sell. I'm in a slightly later generation, and, lets just say, I didn't sell my HP calculator and did finish my degree.... PS I tried living in ubuntu linux for about three months and then bought an iBook. The Mac OS is very nice indeed if you need to get stuff done, and if you need to use arcane scientific software. Nice opportunity here.
