Nobody calls Woz “Steve”, he’s almost always referred to as Woz.


And no one says Woz is not to be trusted or insane... so I was just curious about the stories you heard. Where as people have said insane and untrustworthy about Jobs.


I’m not sharing those stories for sake of privacy.

Also, I actually never heard any stories like that about Steve. Steve was more or less: don’t talk to him, don’t make eye contact with him, don’t take the same elevator as him.

Obviously, the public had their opinions and stories of Steve..but generally, I never experienced much commentary on Steve. Woz, meanwhile, always felt like a punching bag for Apple employees on the off chance his name came up in conversation.


> Woz, meanwhile, always felt like a punching bag for Apple employees on the off chance his name came up in conversation.

A little more context would make this interesting. Were people complaining about the legacy of his work for Apple which ended in the eighties, or something more contemporary about Woz's public life?


Sounds like I worked in Infinite Loop at a similar time to you.

Everything you say above about Steve is identical to what I was told to do regarding “SJ”.


That's wild to talk about a guy like that who hasn't been actively working on product for a long long time.

This makes it tough to believe. But I get it.
