OK, let's assume geek acts do not entitle you to permanent geekdom. Each geek act has a certain value. For example, coding one thousand lines of C++ allows you to call yourself a geek for a month. Perhaps installing a Linux distro allows you to call yourself a geek for one day.
Using this scale we can estimate bigger geek acts:
Pre-Apple Mainframe Experience: 3.3 Years of Geekdom Founding Apple Computer: 10.2 Years of Geekdom Designing the Apple I: 27.9 Years of Geekdom Apple Language Interpreter: 4.1 Years of Geekdom Designing the Apple II: 48.5 Years of Geekdom New Floppy Disk Controller: 4.4 Years of Geekdom BS in EECS: 4.3 Years of Geekdom Brought First Universal TV Remote to Market: 2.2 Years of Geekdom Various Technology Ventures: 3.8 Years of Geekdom Various Awards and Honorary Degrees: 2.6 Years of Geekdom Segway Polo Team: 0.4 Years of Geekdom ----------------------------------------- Total: 111.7 Years of Geekdom
It's a fallacious to assume that Woz starts spending his geek cred at birth, but for the sake of brevity I'm going to do that anyway.
Woz was born on 08/11/1950, which means his geek cred will run out on 04/07/2062.
I suggest waiting 53 more years. If Woz is still around then you may have a point.
Woz just made it to the next round right off the bat, one of the 1st 4 people announced as advancing. This is after he had the lowest score in the history of the show.
If they have an award for the Biggest Heart, I think we have a winner. He looked great, and what a "set" he has to go out there and do it in the first place, I wouldnt have had the nerve. St. Woz is now my Patron Saint of doing things that are out of my comfort zone.
Was that last judge the one who screams on Fox's So you Think You Can Dance? I wish I could catch this show on the air, but I haven't watched ABC in so many years. Actually, I stopped watching ABC when I stopped having to watch Grays Anatomy.

What part of that is his claim to geek-dom? His fat? His insecurity? Lots of regular people are fat and insecure.
Face facts geeks, he's not one of you anymore.
