Steve Wozniak asks to cut in line @ Apple Store

[TSX]

I would have said "no". Either get to the back of the line, or turn up hours before opening like everybody else if you want to be first in line! Lazy f***er.

[/cagerattling]

I wouldn't let hin cut either, I would have been mad if I walked up after waiting in line and was told the person in front of me bought the last one. And the woz had cut.

 

[djrayz]

Did he get a white or black 3G S? lol

He got the White 3G S...I couldn't tell what size he got. (Does size matter?) lol

 

[5DollaFootlong]

Did Woz paid as much as everyone else? Or did he have a started the company discount?

he effing cofounded apple of course he got it for free.

 

[whooleytoo]

Woz paid for his iPhone. He said he didn't want to have one shipped to his house and be around a few people. He wanted to be around everyone and enjoy the energy.

No, I think he wanted to be in front of everyone!

Considering the OP arrived AFTER Woz did, and still got an iPhone, I don't think that would have been an issue.

sweet!! you got a signature from a "Dancing with the Stars" contestant... great show

[sarcasm]

 

[Stankonia]

You'd think he would have some better connections and could get it before the rest of us

 

[Romanesq]

WoW!

The cool thing was that everyone started cheering him as he entered the store as to be the 1st at that store to purchase the iPhone 3G S.

I'm happy they started selling early.

That's bloody awesome!

 

[ChiliBlue]

Awesome! Woz rocks

 

[Romanesq]

of course....

Of course he could have had it sent to his house. He's Woz man.
He obviously chose to be there.

And it's great for those that were there.

 

[bytethese]

Wow man, that's pretty sweet!!

BTW, he drives a Prius. He was in front of me as we entered the freeway onramp. I think he noticed me and started to speed away. He was going at least 80 MPH on the freeway. I wasn't going to stalk him. In fact, I got off the next exit to get gas!

Nice, white all the way!

Well with a user name like Woz Beard you gotta admit it looks suspicious…

Poor Woz. Out to collect a couple iPhones to play with and he runs into MacRumors' resident Woz-lookalike.

 

[Primejimbo]

That is pretty cool. All the times I seen him on TV he seems like a down to earth guy and this shows it also.

 

[IBradMac]

Too cool!!!

brilliant start to iphone 3g s day.

i'm going to say this for the first time EVER (and probably the last).....

excellent thread.

 

[Woz Beard]

He is very friendly and outgoing. I asked him to sign my box (black) and he went around the store asking for a metallic Sharpie while holding my box because he didn't want to sign it in black.

He even told me his entire schedule on Sunday because he was supposed to appear at this local duck race. He just treated me like he knew me for years.

 

[macnerd77]

That is definitely excellent. I would really like to meet him once. he seems like such a great guy. Grats on getting to meet him.

 

[danny_w]

That's awesome! And you even got an autographed box! Woz seems like such a nice guy.

No wonder he freaked out when he saw you tailing him.

 

[Woz Beard]

I've just realized I'm highjacking the thread. I apologize for that, OP.

I just got my iPhone this morning at the Apple Store in Valley Fair (San Jose, CA) and Steve Wozniak was there.

I arrived at 3:50am and Mr. Woz was chopping it up with the manager at Apple. Then around 4:30am he politely asked everyone in line if he could be the 1st to get his iPhone at the store and everyone said yes.

(Pic taken on 1st gen edge iPhone)

Awesome man! And next year when he buys his phone, just think, you'll be able to take a MUCH better photo, focused and all ;-)

 

[agkm800]

Am I the only one who can't see all these pictures?

Also, it's a little odd that Wozniak had to buy his new iPhone today. I thought top APPLE guys and development guys had them for months to 'test'. It's not like they don't test the final version.

 

[tigres]

I just plain love Woz.

This is just so fun to see! Congrats big time for being so fortunate to meet him...

So cool, wish I was there too.
