And people complain about Bill Gates...
I subscribe a feed that arrives regularly at my inbox and today there was a little gem about Steve Jobs and the (very) early years of Apple.
The story is a good one about how Apple became THE Apple, but one thing that really got me laughing out loud was a little remark made by, according to the source, Wozniak's Mother...

"Don’t feel bad, you were not the first person Jobs offered stock in the company for a small investment. When the boys needed printed circuit boards, Jobs offered an interest in the company to the man who did the boards. However they managed to pay for the boards and the man never got any stock. When Apple went public, Jobs would not give stock to several employees who made the Apple possible. My son gave them stock out of his allotment, or they would have never benefited from the long hours and devotion they put in to start the company. If you had given Jobs the money, he would have found a way to keep you from getting the stock."
