He pretty much fell off the radar in the early 80s, while Jobs went on to bigger and greater accomplishments.

More fame and more money. Perhaps Woz was satisfied with what he's made and didn't feel compelled to push harder?

All Woz does now is sign autographs for money,

I think he's earned it. I have great empathy for a man who does something great, and then like Cincinnatus, retires to a simpler life.

Last I heard he's going to become the Wizard of Oz.

:)

Anyway, we're all Freepers as well as computer fans so that's all with my remarks, given with a smile.

Exactly. We shouldn't be carping at each other, though it's hard to not be curmudgeonly given all the bad things going on out there currently.

And, yes, Steve Wozniak did a phenomenal job, with help, in designing that board and everything else. But Steve Jobs did another phenomenal job of all the rest in making it come together to get the PRODUCT made. . . and frankly, all-in-all, that was probably the harder job.

About this, I think we will have to respectfully disagree. Perhaps I will see more information in the future that will enlighten me as to the brilliance of Steve Jobs, but so far the more I learn about him, the less I like or appreciate him. I think he's earned his accolades to the same extent that Barack Obama earned his Nobel prize.

Woz I like. Jobs I don't. Tim Cook also sucks, (Literally) as does the attitude of the entire Tech Industry lately.

Fortunately, from my perspective, i'm hearing ominous rumblings coming out of Silicon Valley. Perhaps their attitudes will soon undergo a realistic correction.
