I saw Woz embarassing himself on a week of the Screen Savers doing trivia.

"Wozniak ended his full time employment with Apple for good on February 6, 1987, twelve years after setting up the company. However he still remains an employee (and receives a paycheck)[5][2] and a shareholder.[6] He also maintains connections with Steve Jobs."

According to Wikipedia he doesn't have full employment from Apple but receives a paycheck so you can make what you want out of that but I think the technology moved beyond his involvement if you will.


Go and price an Apple II, II+ or IIe on Ebay and you can get one for about $40 dollars and it isn't quite competitive with used Amiga products.

The only reason Apple is in business is because they charged exorbitant prices for an image and in the end they gave up because their processor couldn't compete with Intel so that is why Apple isn't using their own microprocessor anymore.  Apple couldn't compete and if it wasn't for their Ipod and Itunes then they probably would be bankrupt.

Definition for exhorbitant: greatly exceeding bounds of reason or moderation; "exorbitant rent"; "extortionate prices"; "spends an outrageous amount on entertainment

Woz got the technology from Chuck Peddle from MOS technology and Jack Tramiel was in business longer than Woz and Jack made different computers at Atari.  What did Woz do?
