Steve Wozniak is getting pretty cantankerous in his latter years, calling Steve Jobs out for claiming that he helped engineer early Apple computers. I’m waiting for tempers get so heated that Fox brings back celebrity boxing with an all Apple match of Steve vs. Steve.
Another misconception that bothered him was the idea that he and Steve Jobs had designed the Apple I and the Apple II together. The sole designer of both those computers was Steve Wozniak. The sole designer.
I need some drama back in my life now that MacBook wireless hack saga is over. Considering the interview also contains an account of Woz pranking President Nixon. Could Woz possibly take his Segway out late one night to TP Jobs house? Nah, it’s got to be something far more geeky, like rewiring his doorbell to play the sound from his car commercial.

Who cares? Steve Jobs can claim that he is the father of the Macintosh. I wonder which one had a bigger impact?
Yeah, Woz can be the "sole designer" but Jobs is clearly the "soul" designer.
Woz is right, but there's more to designing a computer than soldering the innards together. Without SJ's marketing Woz would still be in that garage.
