Steve and Janet Wozniak visit the CHM

On Wednesday, April 18,2012 As Robert Garner came into the CHM, he noticed a familiar face in the CHM parking lot.
Steve Wozniak was teaching a senior student how to ride a Segway!

Robert asked Steve's wife Janet if it would be possible for Steve to stop into the 1401 restoration room for a short visit. In spite of a tight schedule, they stopped in after lunch.


After showing the various elements of the IBM 1401, Steve put his wife to work.


I am sure Janet had never seen a keypunch before. She punched up name cards for both herself and Steve.


The cards were run through PigPrint and Steve and Janet both received a printed document certifying that they visited the CHM on that date.

Both Steve and Janet took interest in just how the IBM 1403 printer can print so fast and make so much noise. Stan Paddock was more than willing to show them.
