If he lives in Tasmania, why is this information not mentioned in the current version of this article? ^    | he doesn't 173.88.246.138 (talk) 01:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

= The first time in history = According to Chapter My Big Idea in iWOZ: (i) WESCON was being held on June 16-18, 1975 (ii) Chuck Peddle was peddling the chips (iii) Steve Wozniak bought a few for $20 (iv) a couple of days later at a regular meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club, a number of us excitedly showed the 6502 microprocessors we'd bought (v) Steve Wozniak borrowed thirty-two SRAM chips from an HP colleague (vi) on Sunday, June 29, 1975, it was the first time in history... The problem is, according to most sources, the WESCON during which MOS microprocessors were sold to the public was held in mid September and company Sphere presented their microcomputer with TV output and keyboard there. According to second page of Homebrew Computer Club Newsleter dated July 5, 1975, Sphere "with interface for standard TV" and a keyboard was already advertised at that time. According to first page of Homebrew Computer Club Newsleter dated September 20, 1975, "the Sphere group took time out from Wescon and demonstrated their equipment at the meeting. Along with their Sphere 1 computer system they demonstrated a very impressive color graphics display". It seems unlikely that Steve Wozniak was the first engineer who had a working prototype of hobbyist microcomputer with TV output and a keyboard interface. JanSuchy (talk) 16:53, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Opening sentence Serbian citizenship dispute
In light of Wozniak's recent reception of Serbian citizenship, multiple editors have been involved in changing the opening sentence of the article between American and Serbian–American or American–Serbian. In my own revert, I asserted that newly acquired Serbian citizenship is not relevant to subject's notability (MOS:CITIZEN). Wozniak is by no means an exception, numerous notable individuals have been granted Serbian or another country's citizenship without actually living and becoming notable there. Think Steven Seagal, he is an American, not an American–Russian–Serbian film personality. In conclusion, I think that 'American' should be restored.
