Woz the Whiz
Mercury News: What's it like being Steve Wozniak and shopping in an Apple store? Are you recognized?
Woz: I was in Boston once. I needed two AC adapters. I ran into this new Apple store. I went up to the counter, ``I'd like two 65-watt AC adapters.'' I didn't say anything about who I was. And they bring them out. I say, ``How much?'' They say, ``We are expensing it.'' I said, ``Yeah, but how do I pay for it?'' They said, ``No, no, no -- we are allowed to give gifts to special people.'
I wonder if that's a courtesy of Jobs himself or the store manager. It doesn't matter if you're Woz, does it?
