This chapter is on an interview with Steve Wozniak (unfiltered) co founder of Apple - from the book 'Founders at Work' by Jessica Livingston. This one is so good it would do absolutely no justice if i sum it up. I'll share some snapshots of it.

To set the base, Apple was founded on April 1, 1976 and went public in 1980. Steve Wozniak was working with HP even when they were selling Apple 1 in thousands. He pitched to HP but was declined. Irony that HP eventually spin off the test measurement instrument, and retained its identity as personal PC and became Apple's biggest competitor.

This whole interview is so precious, most of it just talks about his passion in building things from the time he was in highschool. Also there was no falling out or drama with Steve Jobs, they argued about modular system vs 1 box solution and Wozniak won the argument. He didn't leave Apple or anything like that. He did mention how media would spin everything
