Speaking of woz...

Kevin Mitnick's laptop, signed by Woz, on eBay
Kevin "Free Kevin" Mitnick and Steve "Woz" Wozniak co-hosted an
episode of The Screen Saver on Tech TV, where Woz autographed
one of the laptops that Kevin got arrested for using. Now that machine,
signed by both net-celebs, is up for sale on eBay.

This is the Toshiba Satellite T1960CS, 486 laptop computer seized by
the FBI on February 15, 1995, in Raleigh, NC, during the arrest of the
world's most celebrated computer hacker, Kevin Mitnick. The laptop is
working and has been loaded with a fresh version of Windows 95. A
shrink-wrapped version of Windows 95 on floppy, is included with the
laptop. The laptop is a 486DX with a color LCD, detachable trackball
 mouse, AT&T 14.4 PCMCIA modem card, power adapter and
documentation in FBI evidence bags. The laptop has been signed on the
 bottom by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and says,
 "You've got the whole world in your hands. --Woz (Free Kevin!). It is
 also signed by Mitnick himself. The system was shown on the
 September 27, 2002 episode of The Screen Savers on TechTV, where
 the signatures on the bottom were authenticated in a special show
 hosted by Wozniak and Mitnick. A tape of the show will also be
 included.
