  • Steve Jobs left Apple on his own, wasn't forced out, Wozniak says

    Possible. But It's probable Woz would have ended as an employee (and maybe even happy with it) at HP or wherever. It's as probable Jobs would never have succeeded without Woz. If it wouldn't have been a friend, what other genius would have worked with that 'hippie'? Who would have accepted his behavior? Nowadays, everybody respects Jobs, but back then... 

    Don't forget that regardless of what they both showed, almost no one believed in the Apple I.

    Steve Jobs' persistence (and a whole host of negative qualities) is what made him essential to the the success of Apple... including being a smelly assh0le hippy.

    You can't mix and match ingredients here like a cake. He was who he was and that's a large part of what made him special, and of course despised and hated.

    It's something that many geniuses have in common unfortunately.
