From the book "Exploding the Phone" by Phil Lapsley:

"It wasn't long before the more business savvy of the duo smelled an opportunity: selling blue boxes. 'Steve Jobs suggested we could sell it for $170 or so, he came up with the price pretty early in there,' Wozniak recalls. Before long the two were peddling blue boxes in the dorms at Berkeley."

"(Jobs) concluded: 'If we hadn't made blue boxes, there would have been no Apple.'"

From my perspective, this willingness to abet basic thievery says a lot about his character and motivation.
