As an Apple user for almost three decades, I was thrilled to meet with two founders of the company during Macworld 2009, which was held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco (BTW, the other founder I met was the "forgotten" third founder, Ron Wayne).

The gentleman in these pictures is Steve Wozniak, or simply "Woz". During Macworld '09 he was in attendance at the Axiotron booth, promoting the company's Modbook (= "MODified macBOOK"). I has the pleasure and honor of spending a few moments with him, even showing him an old picture of me using an Apple II computer. He was thrilled with that and shared with me a story about the early days of marketing the computer into the world markets, including the Middle East region.

Steve was gracious with others in the audience who included the comedian and mega-Macintosh aficionado Sinbad. And on the stage, Woz wowed the audience using a mixture of humor and wit while he demonstrated the Modbook.

Steve was also present at the premier of the documentary film "Welcome to Macintosh" later that day.
