Dragon is right… I've been reading the SJ bio and decided to offer a little [temporary] in-game tribute to the guy:

Shortly after returning to college in the fall of 1971 – this time at UC Berkeley – Wozniak began his first commercial venture with Jobs. The two peddled "“blue boxes” designed by Wozniak based on information contained in the October 1971 issue of Esquire. These handheld electronic boxes allowed illegal phone calls to be made free of charge by emulating signals used by the phone company. Jobs supplied $40 in parts and sold the boxes door-to-door in dorm rooms for $150, splitting the profits with Wozniak. In keeping with the spirit of "“phone phreaking,” Wozniak assumed the name Berkeley Blue and Jobs, Oaf Tobark.

During one demonstration, Wozniak called the Vatican posing as Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and asked to speak to Pope Paul VI. Informed that the pope was sleeping but would be awakened, Wozniak lost his nerve and hung up. Following several close calls with the police and a gun-toting buyer, Jobs and Wozniak quit the business after selling approximately 200 blue boxes.
