I highly recommend reading his book 'iWoz'. Wozniak is simply a genius inventor with highest ethics.

His book will inspire & motivate you ( as an engineer and person) & may even leave you completely in awe of this genius.

good talk btw , thanks for posting.

seconded. excellent book

Not only that, it also shows you that it's possible to make a bundle without sacrificing your ethics.

What I do wonder about is how Steve Wozniak would fare if he had to do it all over again in todays environment, it certainly feels as though the world of IT has become a lot more aggressive.

yes Jacques , thats what i thought for a while, but i hope he would do well , at least create something good. for he still would be an inventor in his heart.

Oh, I'm not at all worried that Steve Woziak would be anything but an inventor. It's just that he seems to be the kind of person that might get taken advantage of a lot easier in the world today than back then.

It's not at all rare to see posts here on HN about uppity founders that want to 'ditch' one of their co founders, and not always for the right reasons (it gets presented one sided and usually in the form of an Ask HN post).
