Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was hospitalized in Mexico City on Wednesday, a source from the organizers of the World Business Forum (WBF), an event he attended in the country’s capital, told CNN En Español.
When I was in the military in the early 90’s, I helped host Woz when he came to Alaska for an F-15 ride (long story).
I was in the small party invited by the brass to a fancy dinner with him. After dinner, the “important people” left. Woz invited myself and three co-workers to his quarters (Air Force has a nice house on base for guests to stay in). We were all young (mid 20’s) and working a computer project together that I had demo’d to him earlier in the day.
He spent 3 hours with us telling us war-stories, founding of Apple, time at HP, what he was doing now, etc. It was a fantiastical experience. He was very generous with his time and we felt special for having such unfettered access to a founder of modern personal computing.
I hope he recovers quickly. The world needs more time with Woz.

He sounds exactly as cool as I always imagined he would be. There seem to be no bad stories about Woz!
