You should see what his wife is writing about him. Pardon me if I believe her over you.

Frankly, you don't know what you're talking about. Steve Jobs' wife, Lauren Powell Jobs, is perfectly happy with how he treated her.

The woman who wrote that screed was Chrisann Brennan, a girlfriend he had back in the mid-1970s, with whom he had a daughter, to whom Jobs was never married, repeating old news, from forty years ago. Your claim she was his "wife" shows the level of your knowledge about this.

Jobs reconciled with his daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, before he left Apple for the first time, accepted his responsibility, and she became a top executive at Apple.

The patents that Woz held and would likely receive any royalties from Apple for have probably long since expired. There may be some copyrights, but Woz left before Apple learned to copyright everything, and then it's copyrighted in the company name. Had Woz kept his share of Apple, he'd be worth billions. His claims of Apple going the wrong direction has been proved wrong. . . He advocated sticking with a command line interface and the Apple II 6502-6510 family of processors. Not a good recommendation at all. He certainly is no businessman.

You’re right, I mis-typed. His treatment of Chrisann Brennan (not his wife) and his own daughter was downright vile, I don’t know how you can justify denying your own daughter, stating publicly that the paternity test was bogus, spreading rumors that her mother was sleeping around and that’s how she got pregnant, and giving them money that’s not even subsistence-level WHEN HE WAS A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE (and about 10 years away from being a billionaire). He saw his daughter twice before she was 13. If you think it’s OK to do that, we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one. It says a lot about you and it isn’t good.
