I just saw a video-tape of the introduction with the Woz "helping to
discuss the machine".  It was clear (to me, anyway) that he was speaking
memorized lines, written by somebody else.  He sounded like a very
amateur actor in a high-school play.  For somebody with even a little
bit of acting experience, it was painful to watch!
