My hat is off to you sir

Comment from E-mail

I just wanted to say that I’ve been using Apple products @ school…@ work…@ home since the Apple ][.

Serious BASIC programming was on an Apple ][… (my first programming experience was on a BALLY Astrocade with the BASIC cartridge…I still have both…circa 1981.)

My term papers were written on Mac 128k & 512k computers…

I was one of the first in my design class @ college to use a Mac…a Mac II, I think…before they became an industry standard…

I currently own a PPC 7500 that’s paid for itself 3 or 4 times (original value).

I just wanted to say…thank you for starting a wonderful computer company and being one hell of a nice guy. Anybody that gives away co. stock to employees that have none…well, my hat is off to you sir. This email is loooong overdue…rest assured I will always be a Apple-man…so will my kids…and anyone else I can influence.

Woz

It was a big deal to give the stock to people that were along for the incredible ride the first couple years of our company. It was rare and brave and right. I don’t know why the definition of right and wrong change once you ‘get there’.
