Well he basically invented the personal computer you're typing on right now. If it wasn't for jobs, you'd be posting letters to elitetrader. While we're on the subject, what the fuck have you ever done for society?

Much to the amazement of Atari, Wozniak reduced the number of chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to reproduce on an assembly line. According to Wozniak, Jobs told Wozniak that Atari had only given them $700 (instead of the actual $5,000) and that Wozniak's share was thus $350 Crazy A
