According to Reuters, Woz had been scheduled to take part in a World Business Forum in Mexico City's Santa Fe neighborhood on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. A claim via TMZ says that Woz delivered a speech, but then reported "feeling strange."

At his wife's insistence, he went to hospital. Reuters says that the TMZ report claims Wozniak may have been suffering from vertigo. Other media sources in Mexico say that he may have suffered a stroke.

Then CNN reports that Woz fainted some minutes before he was due to give his speech.

Steven Gary Wozniak, 73, founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne in 1976. Woz left Apple in 1985.

    Sending well wishes his way.

    He left Apple in 1985, but has remained a "ceremonial employee of Apple" according to online bios at Wikipedia (and elsewhere.)

    Could be a “mini” stroke. As great a guy as he is, Steve is not the epitome of health. Needs to drop some substantial weight and get a cardio habit going. 

    Hopefully this is just a small issue thst wakes him up to better lifestyle health habits. Hope to have him with us for decades yet.

    I’m hoping this is just a brief setback, or something the doctors can treat to get him back to peak Wozniak asap.

    Hope he recovers. The world needs more Wozes, we shouldn't really lose the one we have.
