We happen to like people like Woz, and Woz himself, a lot.  He's a lot
like my dad.

Hey, everyone, I really want to thank you all.  Aside from him mis-
remembering the company, you confirmed pretty much what he remembered.

It is a funny thing that, without Jobs,  it looks like Woz would have
happily just made calculators and other stuff and inventions  for some
company.  He might not have become rich, and he might have been taken
advantage of by someone else.

But that doesn't let Jobs off the hook, as far as my dad and me are
concerned.  One doesn't screw one's friends.  My dad thinks Jobs may
be doing a lot of thinking, at some point, in the afterlife, and it
won't be about money or making money.  But, he adds, it's not really
our place to judge.

Thanks again, guys.
