I'll have a chance to meet Steve Wozniak at the GTC expo. What should I bring to get autographed?

I have some vintage Apple stickers I think I might bring.

Get one of the original Mac's off ebay, have him sign it and then sell it again for a mean mark up.

I don't have either of those. :/

The expo is in 2 days, so no time to buy a Classic.

Obviously the best answer is "An Apple I", but failing that, whatever oldest artifact you have.

Take a tattoo gun, and get him to sign your forehead with it.

This may just be me, but asking famous people for autographs makes you look kind of lame.

To whom? To the famous person? Who cares? Its for you, not them. If you're planning on becoming their friend at some point, then I guess their opinion of you would matter. Or is it the fear that maybe, just maybe, they might see you again on the street or something and yell out "HEY! THERE'S THAT LAME-O WHO ASKED FOR MY AUTOGRAPH!!"

Have him put a W on the left ass cheek and a Z on the right.

Oh yes, I went there.

If you're wife and or girlfriend, or your kids ridicule you for getting an autograph of someone you admire, ditch em.

Ask Woz to sign his own ass, then take a photo of it.

Instant ebay sensation.

Damn it. He did his cool keynote, then he was off stage for about 5 minutes. A few GTC people shook his hand, then he was out like with the CIA or something.

Man, I really wanted to get his autograph.

He had a book tour last year in the Seattle area and I was there. I got him to sign the iWoz book and 2 old Apple mousepads. Some fans bought in their Apple notebooks as well.

Maybe he doubleparked his Segway.

Sucks that you didn't get to meet him. What was his keynote about?

It was about not worrying about being an outsider, shy, or a geek. His times working at HP and developing games. A lot of it was about him building his own computers just for the heck of it. A good section of it was in regards to getting useful technology into classrooms and getting kids interested in math and sciences again.

Also touched how California has some of the lowest payed teachers in the country, and it's not helping anyone.
