I saw recently he was on /. and he said that while he could have been a billionaire from his apple wealth, he gave it all up, and now funds schools and libraries with his small amount of wealth. I have also only heard good things about him.
I will never forget when he was told years later in an interview that an Atari job Steve Jobs sent his way to code Breakout was for $700, and split it 50/50. Woz was told the real amount was $5k with a $5k bonus, and he got 350 for it. He cried. He thought they were best friends, and knew in that moment his friend wasn’t real. It amazes me he didn’t piss on Job’s grave.

Gonna need more. I’ve always heard good things about him and he seems to care less about wealth and greed and more about playing with tech.

that sounds exactly like something Jobs would have done. He was a pretty gross person.
