Brush with Greatness

One day I was processing OHSO orders and came upon a faxed order from Steve Wozniak. It was signed "Woz." Could this be the real Steve Wozniak inventor of the Apple I computer--one of the most significant inventions of our age?



So I looked up Steve Wozniak on Google and found an article showing an Apple I computer singed by The Woz. The signature was a match. Then I tracked down his email address and sent him a message asking if he had just purchased an OHSO Travel Toothbrush and where he heard about it. He replied in short order and said he indeed had just bought one for his son, and they both liked it. He read about it on a blog site. I then asked him if I could mention that fact in my blog and he said yes.

It's easy to be star struck when you consider that history has recored the Apple I as the World's first general purpose computer for the masses. Steve Wozniak was truly instrumental in ushering in the Information Age. In my book he is one of the all time Greats.
