The answer to that poll

You should really go take the poll in my previous entry (Dreamwidth, Livejournal) before clicking on the cut tag, otherwise it'll spoil your fun.

JOBS AND WOZ

Yes, it's Bishounen Steve Jobs and Goofy Steve Wozniak! Because Japan!

With a bonus side order of MANGA BILL GATES.

It's a manga currently being released in Japan called Steves, all about setting up Apple Computer, starting from the days when Jobs and Woz worked out of a garage.

Read more about it over at the RocketNews24 post.

Ha! I guessed right.

I'm more surprised that they haven't done this manga before than that it exists in the first place.

When both are done you should do a comparison of this and Steve and Steve.

Wow, I didn't know that existed.

And it sent me back into memory, as my parents took me to an exhibit of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, so I know exactly what he's talking about. (I think we even had the exhibition catalogue. ISTR poring over it many times in my childhood. It was probably shelved right next to my parents' copy of The Whole Earth Catalogue, which I also pored over many a time. Ah for childhood in the 1970s!)

OMG, I remember The Whole Earth Catalogue! Someone passed it down to me and I was fascinated. I'd forgotten about that for years. Gosh, I wonder how hard it would be to track down a copy now.

Looks like Amazon's got one from 1975 for a hair less than $36. Other versions are listed for $350+, but that might be the result of pricing bots run amok.
