A bit like Bruce McLaren's contribution to the current F1 team that carries his name, the success of which is almost entirely the work of Ron Dennis.

Re: RIP Steve Jobs
"The Woz" is more of a cult icon than someone who has contributed greatly to Apple's current success. The stuff that really made Apple successful, all the i-Products, owe nothing to the Woz, other than his engineering brilliance having provided the foundations for the company.

Re: RIP Steve Jobs
Yeah.
Apple made us want to embrace technology as part of our everyday life.
Look at it this way: Ipod/Iphone/Ipad= cool and amazing devices that I can't live without. Who cares if my director still sms me 100 x day on it, it's still amazingly cool.
Blackberry: I hate my F%&#$%#%#$# director and can't wait to turn it off/get rid of it/flush it down the toilet.

And so the corporate cult which is Apple, along with Saint. Jobs of California continues to dominate the world.

Re: RIP Steve Jobs
There's a really interesting programme on YouTube called "Revenge of the Nerds." it's 3 programmes and each one is split into 6 parts. confusingly listed but worth sticking with.
All about Jobs, Wozniak, Allen and Gates et al from their drop out nerding around beginnings until around the early 90's I think. Certainly before Jobs returned to apple.
It is rather fascinating, especially with hindsight.
