Freemasons... always on tv. :-)
I think they're going to have to rename it, "Dancing while having a heart attack!"
Jobs is ill due to a poisoned pancreas, and Woz is ill due to too many ham sandwiches.
Maybe we'll lost BOTH our creative idols in the same year?
Sorry -- I just don't get the Wozniak fascination.
