http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060315/1133233.shtml

Would you invest in an unknown company based soley on the names of the people running it?

This article is about Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, NOT Apple frontman/CEO Steve Jobs.

Reading comprehension > you.

This really pisses me off.
They better send my check back.
I regularly invest in everything that comes along to the point that I have writer's cramp.

WHAT DO THEY THINK? I'M MADE OUT OF CHECKS?

Woz isn't evenm all that bright.

He was the geek with the pocket protector. It was Jobs that made Apple big. All Woz did was assemble that first computer. Big deal.

Heck, California is full of guys with pocket protectors that assemble elctronics in their garages.

Hind sight is 20-20. IF I had known then what I know now, I would be rich, too. 1994 Harley-Davidson stock @ $24, now split twice and worth about $50 some-odd. I could kick myself in the A$$.
