You don't co-start a company as great as Apple and stop thinking of it as "yours" even _decades_ after you've stopped doing actual work there. He still _is_ the second person most people think of when talking about Apple. So he very much still _is_ Apple as much (or almost as much) as Jobs –*regardless of his actual position (or non-position) at Apple.

I get the impression of SW being an innovator and prankster who fell behind Job's business acumen and lack of 'geekiness'.

Jobs has obviously felt some loyalty to Wozniak. Perhaps the financial settlement and honorary role he enjoys in Apple reflects this.

The bottom line is that Wozniak created a vision and Jobs made it happen.

Y para los hispanophonos , que no se vuelven celosos , aqui esta lo mismo 1/ "ir de juerga" 2/ "tener la resaca" . B.T.W. , existe St-Brigit' feast , "chandeleur", "groundhog-day" etc...y que tienen uste como fiesta equivalente ? Saludos y paracetamolo to all

It's um, English really. And we all use most of the words we know, so it's fair to assume that one could use all of them if they chose to do so. I once tried incorporating a Spanish-only section, but failed to garner support of anyone but a chumly bloke called Easterhay and señor nixgeek, whom you see below your original post.

You ought to stop speaking through a translator, though, it's rather annoying and makes me use curse words.
