Tbh, hate macs and macOS but I like iPhone (just because I only use a phone to call, text and youtube, and it just works (tm)) but I've been a fan of Woz for as long as I knew about him... and he hasn't changed at all with age. Dude is just awesome and you can tell he loves the tech aspect so much.
Because he is intelligent, wacky, and genuinely a good human being, the Woz is one of the few figures that many of us in the tech industry look up to and aspire to be like. I hope he sticks around for many more years to come.
Let's hope he pulls through and in good health.

I had a TIA(mini-stroke) a few years ago in my early 20s. From what I understand: strokes are not more dangerous with age, but are much more likely to happen as you age. I was told that the the risk factor is a matter of how quickly the stroke is identified and how quickly you are able to receive medical care after the onset. Faster response == less time for brain matter to die due lack of blood.
If someone you know is showing signs of a stroke (see https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/signs_symptoms.htm ), get them to the hospital right away. Time is of the essence. Once you're there, don't let overworked personnel ignore them. My mother recently had a stroke. She had absolutely clear, textbook symptoms. She got to the hospital by ambulance right away, but busy doctors and nurses sent her home after two days, saying t…
Sending Woz good vibes.

Wow, that sounds like third-world kind of treatment. I would consider suing. Sorry that your mom had to go through this.
You wish you had third-world medical treatment, though.
Having been many times to hospitals in several 1st world countries AND several 3rd world countries, I do not find the former much better than the latter and the 10x-100x price markup is hard to ignore.
