    1. "Being clear-headed about money, how do you view open approach to technology? Do you think that making Macintosh parts open (as in clonable hw and free sw) would have leveraged information tools better than what happened back in 80's and what's still happening today? If, how? Now that you are free to try again, are you considering taking care that APIs and HW specs are available for others to build on, reverse engineer and share?"
    My guess would be that it would have gone just as well for Apple as it did for IBM's PC division.

    While true, I think more people would recognize him as "co-founder of Apple", or even "the guy who invented Personal Computers". The point of such parenthetical phrases is to remind the reader who this is you're talking about. Wheels of Zeus, while a swimming concept, hasn't really proven its worth yet, even if it is abbreviated 'WoZ'.

    Perhaps submitter works at Microsoft.
