Woz got stock? of course, u don't buy a plane (movie) on salary alone! Woz is an Apple Fellow, I dunn know what that exactly means, but sounds like LifeTime $ without having to show up for work everyday.

An Apple fellow is just a title Apple gives to someone who has contributed greatly to Apple in the past. I like only Woz, Andy Hertzfield and Guy Kawasaki have held that title. Wozniak doesn't make much money in terms of salary from Apple now, he just keeps the title so that he can represent Apple at certain events.

Like I said earlier, he's still very welloff but he's nowhere near what you'd consider wealthy by Valley standards. Wheel of Zeus was a failure and he lost close to a hundred mil thanks to his two sponsorships of the US Festival.

By Valley standards....

From what I know from living there...$250,000/year+?

Doesn't really matter, he only works when he wants to and that's wealthy enuff 4me.

^Can't argue with that logic. Working only when you want is the only way to go.

Wow, I didn't know Woz lost that much money. Steve yelling at employees must work, because look at the iPhone, the iPod, Appletv etc. He must be a hardass on them to deliver products such as those.

And those bikes still turn out like c.rap. I know someone that purchased one of those bikes and spent another couple of thousand to have someone else fix all the problems on a new bike. They really suck for customer bikes, project bikes may be different as they require more top management attention.

Ha-ha. yeah man, I wouldn't buy one from them either.

How often do u see them, Oops, how come this doesn't fit? or Banging the thing until it goes in, or that Sr. says They don't tell us what to build, We give them what they need.

But good show though, I thought at first they were faking the shouting for the TV, but now I really think that's what they do! Sr. do keep them in line.
