Why didn't you?

  Because I have severe ADHD (to which I attribute the fact I'm not nearly as awesome as Steve Jobs was even though we have much in common otherwise) and little-to-no knowledge of Apple internals. If I had co/founded the company I most probably would.

    > to which I attribute the fact I'm not nearly as awesome as Steve Jobs was There are lots of other possible reasons.

    What I meant with my comment is that your question sounded like "Why didn't Albert Einstein become the president of the United States?", and I believe it's not a "good" question, just like "why doesn't water explode when you dissolve salt in it?". I doubt Apple stakeholders would have wanted Woz. And I doubt Woz would have wanted to do it. The same is incredibly likely for most people (including you and me). I probably came across as rude, and I apologize about that. I hope expanding my thoughts as I did above helps.

      > "why doesn't water explode when you dissolve salt in it?". Because you have to melt the salt first. > I doubt Apple stakeholders would have wanted Woz. They didn't want Steve Jobs either but it turnt out they were wrong. > I probably came across as rude Not at all, you came across as original and fun. Boring and/or rude people just downvote silently, cool people say something interesting or provoking. You did. I ended up thinking about that in more details and although I'm not taking the idea of taking over something as big seriously I feel inspired to fix some things and achieve more.

          You walked right into that one tbh.
