Wozniak says he will miss Jobs
SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Wozniak, who started Apple in a Silicon Valley garage with Steve Jobs in 1976, said he’ll miss his fellow co-founder “as much as everyone.”
“We’ve lost something we won’t get back,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press following Jobs’ death on Wednesday.
“The way I see it, though, the way people love the products he put so much into creating means he brought a lot of life to the world.”
Wozniak, a high school friend of Jobs’, last saw him about three months ago, shortly after Jobs emerged from a medical leave to unveil Apple’s iCloud content syncing service and the latest version of its iOS mobile software. At the time, Wozniak said, Jobs looked ill and sounded weak.
Wozniak, 61, said Jobs was a good husband and father and great businessman who had an eye for details. He also said Jobs was a good marketer.
“I think what made Apple products special was very much one person, but he left a legacy,” Wozniak said. Because of this, he hopes the company can continue to be successful despite Jobs’ death.
