^ At his talk at the MI Expo in April, Jack stated that the machine that he originally wanted to make was the Three Stooges. After inquiring about the rights and being told "no", he asked his lawyer to obtain a list of all of the properties he could get rights to. Upon perusing the list, Jack said that he instantly saw and knew that it was WOZ that he wanted to make.
At least that's how I remember his story....
