   For those not willing to put up with 5 pages of popups and ads

   Mrs. Wozniak said, “Don’t feel bad, you were not the first person Jobs offered stock in the company for a small investment. When the boys needed printed circuit boards, Jobs offered an interest in the company to the man who did the boards. However they managed to pay for the boards and the man never got any stock. When Apple went public, Jobs would not give stock to several employees who made the Apple possible. My son gave them stock out of his allotment, or they would have never benefited from the long hours and devotion they put in to start the company. If you had given Jobs the money, he would have found a way to keep you from getting the stock."
   
   So this makes Jobs sound like a real asshole.

   It sounds like he gave away 10% of the stock 100 times

   Is he not? He's doing his job.
   While I don't agree with his tactics Jobs is doing what he feels is the right thing.
   @#5. I have to agree rockerest.

   Woz is the real inventor, hardcore geek and all-round admirable chap. That's why he 'left' (was shunted out) the day the company was taken over by the stuffed shirts (a.k.a. Jobs' Gang).

   jobs is a real tosser He see the vision and the Dollar and will step on anyone to get it, his apple 3 was a flop which he oversaw but did not design because he doesnt have a clue and then hired someone else to superceed it which became the apple mac then jobs took the credit for it. He can program but does not really design anything but like gates takes other peoples ideas and then gets rid off them! jobs is and ass and is a fraud like gates ! I could write an encyclopieda on the pr%#ks! when i lean how to spell that is!
