Apple CEO Steve Jobs didn’t, but Apple’s other Steve, Steve Wozniak, showed up today at Macworld Expo 2009 doing what he loves to do: enthuse over cool stuff. Former PC World editor Harry McCracken, and now Technlogizer.com founder, was there himself for Wozniak’s presentation at the Axiotron booth. Wozniak recently joined the board of Axiotron, which makes the touchscreen Modbook Mac tablet. McCracken enjoyed Woz’s “geeky glee” in the Modbook. His blogpost has an old photo of the two Steves together in Apple’s early days, and a trio of new photos from Macworld Expo of a much more portly Wozniak, still bearded though the beard now is gray.
