Woz is the true Tech Jesus
No that would be Stallman. In so many ways, but most importantly by establishing the concept of free software and pushing hard for progressive values. Also by being unpopular with the masses.
You mean GNU/Stallman
in terms of being betreayed? sure.
In terms of being the salvation and the light? Nah, that's Linus
Linus is the drunken uncle of the tech backbone, let's be real here. Woz is the supportive one after being in abusive relationship after abusive relationship.
After every instance of getting relatively screwed over (he still made bank, just not as much) he still founded and ran groups that focussed on pushing the envelope of tech or improving less advantaged youth into stem fields
Woz is Bill Dautrive, Linus is Rusty Shackleford :P
