The sale itself is to benefit the IEEE lab at UC Berkeley, because Woz says that "on a global scale we are seeing America losing its competitiveness in engineering and technical skills. That is disappointing." And in addition to picking up Woz' own car (too bad it's not the Prius), you get lunch with the man himself, and the opportunity to "talk about anything that interests you."
Surely that's worth the $100,000 he has listed for the sale, right? But it is for charity. If you've got an extra $100,000 sitting around, there are probably worse ways to spend it.

If some fanboy ends up actually shelling out $100Gs for this, I think we need to start a collection for a hooker, because homeboy needs to get laid. I'm in for $20.
Still, cool video.

That was actually really well done. Nice.
And that Segway really moves.

ok, that kicked way more ass than i was expecting. i wonder why they went back to the old one for the kicker line? it would have been, uh, awesome if he just recreated the whole thing.

OK. I love you Engadget, but could we post a little less on the life and times of "the Woz", hes just a fat has-been that no one really wants to hear about. But seriously, other than that I LOVE YOU GUYS.

@Tyler Whitesides: For one thing, this is TUAW, not Engadget.

Woz just dropped the price to: $49,050. I would buy it if I lived in Cali and had 50g to throw around.

I like his Segway dismount - step off the back as the Segway continues on.
