Traditionally, Apple's World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) is scheduled during the month of May. However, in March of this year, the company announced that it had rescheduled its 2003 Worldwide Developers Conference for late June, in order to provide developers with a more complete preview release of "Panther." What the press release did not say is that this first developer release of Panther would be demonstrated by Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, on the company's new line of Power Mac G5 desktop computers.

Mr. Wozniak, "Woz" is a Silicon Valley icon and philanthropist, best known for shaping the personal computer industry by inventing the first personal computer, and co-founding Apple Computer in 1976 together with Apple Inc.'s Steve Jobs. His position on the en2go board and co-stewardship of the company's team of diverse and eccentric talent, including en2ools(TM) inventor Tolga Katas and the legendary John Draper (a.k.a. "Captain Crunch") is reminiscent of Mr. Wozniak's Homebrew Computer Club. Homebrew was founded in a garage in March of 1975 at a time when the world was undergoing ground-breaking technological change and a start-up group of uninhibited developers and engineers, including Wozniak, Jobs and Draper profoundly influenced the direction of computer innovation.
Jobs and several other Apple employees including Jef Raskin visited Xerox PARC in December 1979 to see the Alto computer. Xerox granted Apple engineers three days of access to the PARC facilities in return for selling them US$1 million in pre-IPO Apple stock (approximately US$18 million net).

In June 2005, Steve Jobs announced that Apple would stop using the PowerPC microprocessor and begin using Intel microprocessors. The decision to use Intel microprocessors ended the easy use of old programs for OS9 with modern Apple computers. However, it is still possible to run the old programs on a modern Apple computer with an Intel microprocessor, by installing a software emulator to translater PowerPC instructions to Intel instructions.
