Have you read iWoz? I enjoyed it much more than the Jobs biography. Every thing I learn about Woz...from how he created Integer BASIC on pen and paper and demonstrated it to the Homebrew club [1] to how he got around Nintendo Power banning him from its top scores list [2]...only makes me admire him more. It's clear he probably wouldn't be famous if it weren't for Jobs (as Woz tried to give away the Apple I to HP, because he felt obligated to)...but Apple wouldn't have gotten the runway it needed without Woz's spectacular engineering and game-loving spirit.
