He not only built the Apple I and II single handed... but he made the OS as well.

The work he did on the original Breakout game was amazing .. far far beyond what even the "above average" EE was capable of. He was one of the greatest EE of his time. Sad that you can't see that.

Woz had his place, before the accident and when Apple was a niche micro company he was needed. He had the ability to make Jobs dreams come to fruition. Don't be confused on the designs for the Apple I or II. Jobs had the design portion not in an EE way but in a form and function way. Woz was wildly needed at this point they couldn't afford to pay someone to do it. Once they had a group of EE's he never contributed anything again. Not sure if its because the accident or what. He is a good guy, he contributed a spark that helped ignite Apple. Thats his legacy.

Your well known hate for all things Apple blinds you seeing Jobs for what he was. He was Edison in his own way. Edison was an absolute dick and stepped on peoples faces to get ahead. It really doesn't matter, society owes both Jobs and Edison a heartfelt thank you. If Apple never existed the world loses at least 5 years of computer evolution.

And again you haven't paid attention.. I don't have a blind hate of Apple, I have a blind hate of Jobs which bled over to hating what Apple has become. I loved my Apple IIC back in the day!

He was a tool and a he turned Apple's base into a cult full of douchey fanbois.

And you are still not giving Woz enough credit for how brilliant he was before the accident...
