This is how you tell what kind of guy Woz really is:<p><i>Around the time of the Apple IPO in late 1980, Woz decided to give away stock options to the earliest Apple employees who had never gotten options -- including Randy Wigginton, Chris Espinosa, Kottke, and Fernandez. He gave them each a stock grant out of his own chunk of shares. It was a generous move, especially towards Wozniak&#x27;s old neighbor and friend with whom he&#x27;d built his first computer and helped become Apple&#x27;s first employee.</i>

What kinds of interface? What definition of simplicity?
