It's really cool to see these videos surfacing. Vince Patton, the person uploading them, is working on getting everything uploaded:

"I'm working on the whole talk, but the transfer had problems due to the age of the tape and audio slips several seconds out of sync. It'll take a bit to re-do it. The whole talk is close to 90 minutes long."

There are a few other videos on his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PDXtvVince


Woz is uber hacker! I loved that story where he says how he hacked pay to watch movies system at hotels. Only someone who has 'tinkering' psyche can do stuff like that.


I did this once using an old Windows 95 exploit at a hotel in L.A. (The Safari Inn from True Romance, FWIW.)

It didn't impress my girlfriend as much as I had hoped, though.
