My dad was Woz's RA in the Berkeley dorms. He often tells this story:

One night, dad was on duty, probably smoking pot with his student residents.

The phones all stop working.

So dad goes down to the maintenance closet, opens it up... and sure enough, there's Woz digging around the building's phone wiring. Woz immediately says "I'll fix it, I'll fix it!!".

He was down there installing one of those phreaking devices for free long-distance phone calls for everyone in the dorms.

My dad let him do his thing.
