Silicon Valley is full of stories: some pretty, some not Video Transcript

>> Silicon Valley is full of stories, some pretty, some not.

>> This is one of those stories. ^M00:00:07 [ Explosions ] ^M00:00:11

>> Bruce Damer, curator of the DigiBarn, tells the difference between the two Steve's in Apple history.

>> He starts with Steve Wozniak's division for the Apple II GS.

>> This was actually back when [inaudible] would run Apple II software and this sort of funny looking windows and icon based software that they had running on the Apple II GS. And this is Wozniak's ideal of openness. And the ideal that Steve had was all this openness was driving them crazy. The Apple II had hundreds of manufacturers, and boards and stuff. And so when the MAC came out, the ideal was close the thing out, close it down, and you could only open a MAC, if you had a MAC cracker to crack the case. And if you opened this from the back, you would void the warranty, but you could open it up, and you'd void your warranty. But so if you wanted to hack it, and expand it, you had to really sort of break into it, very much like a later Apple.

>> Is this [inaudible] MAC cracker?

>> That's the MAC cracker.
