A&E: VCRs At The Ready (12/13/00)

Good golly-- we're so stunned at our utter lapse of memory, we're actually saying things like "good golly." Imagine, the AtAT staff forgetting that "the other Steve" is going to be on A&E tonight! Thank heavens for faithful viewers like Milo Auckerman who can remind us of stuff like this as our memories deteriorate in these, our twilight years. Senility's a nasty thing, to be sure, but we like to focus on the positive: at least we can still tune in and enjoy a nice Biography episode on the Woz (provided that sharper tacks in the cork board are considerate enough to remind us).
So yeah, that's the scoop: flip to A&E at 8 PM EST (check your local listings to make sure), and bask in the glory of Woz for an hour, as Biography continues its series on "high-tech billionaires." Steve Jobs may be the flashier of Apple's original Dynamic Duo, but it was Woz who really delivered the goods in the form of the Apple I. And whereas Jobs evidently thrives on corporate intrigue, confrontation, and success, Wozniak actually pulled out of the game in 1985 when the Rat Race just got too ratty. He blew a chunk of his Apple cash on a couple of rock concerts, and then started volunteering at local schools. These days, aside from his recent induction into the National Inventor's Hall of Fame, most of his public appearances are via the WozCam, so it's nice to see him featured on a high-profile show like Biography.
Tune in tonight for more on the Teller to Jobs's Penn... the original Apple's "softer side of Sears." And for those of you who don't have cable, get on the stick. Don't tell us you can't afford it; basic cable is cheap enough to be paid for by selling your blood twice a month. They're called priorities, people!

 | | The above scene was taken from the 12/13/00 episode: December 13, 2000: February 24th is the latest date tossed around as Mac OS X's debut, but certain factors just don't add up. Meanwhile, Apple selflessly joins an industry alliance bent on establishing standards for the Internet broadcast of streaming media, and the man, the myth, the Woz is the subject of tonight's Biography on A&E...
Other scenes from that episode: 2738: It's SOMEBODY'S Birthday (12/13/00) If you're paying any attention at all to the buzz surrounding Mac OS X, you're probably aware that the chances of Steve Jobs strolling out on stage at next month's Expo and announcing that version 1.0 is "available now" are pretty darn slim... 2739: Micro-who? & Real-what? (12/13/00) Oh, that Apple-- ever selflessly championing the establishment of industry standards for the benefit of the little guy. Why else would the company (together with Sun, Cisco, Philips, and Kasenna) sign on as a charter member of the Internet Streaming Media Alliance, as reported by Macworld?...
