     If Woz wanted to make computers for people, then it is a good thing
Jobs was around to get a company going.

     Once Woz and Jobs had Apple going, it's too bad someone didn't show
up to steer things in the right direction-- someone like Bill Gates .
Most likely, he would have followed a simple 'boring' strategy like just
wiping out the competition with a steadily improving II series.
