This is the story of two friends named Steve. Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs both attended Homestead high school, though Woz was several years ahead of Jobs. Throughout their teenage years, Woz would have some neat brainstorm he thought he could manufacture and Jobs was always sure he could sell it. One of their first ventures was selling Woz's "blue box" that could simulate a telephone and dial anywhere in the world for free. They were both members of the Home brew Computer Club and it was on this relationship that the future of Apple Computer began. Woz developed his own computer and Jobs was sure he could sell them. The two started a partnership in Jobs'garage after they sold all their worldly possessions just to buy the parts for their very first order. Apple Computer grew quickly from those first days in Jobs' garage to a very large company that neither man had envisioned. Woz was largely credited for the successful Apple II. At some point in time, the job stopped being fun and in 1985, Woz left Apple Computer for good. He started a series of unsuccessful companies on his own and finally returned to college to get the degree he never finished, long after he was a multimillionaire. -- Book Description
