I'm not a tech person and I don't follow the tech industry closely but I've always had some awareness that Steve Wozniak was the more grounded of the two Steve's who founded Apple.
I hadn't quite realised what a thoroughly decent guy he is. His attitude to wealth is exemplary and I love the story about him giving some of his Apple shares to the technicians who helped build the Apple products, after Steve Jobs tried to shaft them.
I really hope there's no "well, actually" response to this.
