“The deal was that a design with 50 chips would earn $750 and under 40 chips would earn $1000. Woz's first design used 44 chips and he was so tired, the complete design had to be complete in four days, that it stayed above the magic 40 count and they only got the $750.”

Perhaps it’s worth to explore how the money was split between them.

Lol why people keep harping on this when its $750 dollars compared to the billions of dollars Steve Jobs made for Apple and Wozniak? Just think about it for a second and see how absurd it is. And Jobs was working full time on Apple with no pay compared to Wozniak. And to top it all, Wozniak didn't even care. You can read Wozniak's interview directly from the book 'Founder's at Work' by Jessica Livingston on his take rather than reading someone else's sensationalised opinion.

I've shared some parts of the interview my notes as well. cheers mate. take it easy yea
