Jesus, you have gone FULL reerun lately. Please
![]() Woz took a sabbatical in 1981 after he almost died in a plane crash. He was then back at Apple from 83-87. Woz was a brilliant engineer who revolutionized home computing... yep.. worthless. |

Even though he didn't, the fact that he was forced out of the company he founded and then later came back to save it and make it the most valuable company in the world is pretty storybook.

How can you possibly know that? The guy revolutionizes home computing and you assume he's only "better than average"?

Because he built the Apple II? He was very sharp, most EE's are. He was above the average smart EE. There would have never been a Apple II or an Apple company with out Jobs. Woz would probably still be tinkering with shit in his garage. He had zero marketing skill. Very dull to talk to, marketing wasn't his thing.

The work he did on the original Breakout game was amazing .. far far beyond what even the "above average" EE was capable of. He was one of the greatest EE of his time. Sad that you can't see that. |
