The Real Sculley?

 

I'm confused. In articles about the Sculley-Jobs situation, Jobs is always referred to as the founder of Apple Computer Inc. But nobody ever mentions the other Steve, Stephen Wozniak, who was merely the inventor of the computer in the first place and who was also one of the three founders of the company.

Before the big change, Jobs was always portrayed as a guy who wanted to run a big company and Mike Markkula was portrayed as the source of money and business savvy, but Woz was portrayed as the real founder, the inventor, the brains behind the product itself. Since the ouster of Jobs, it is as if history were being rewritten, as if the key player never existed. Woz is never mentioned. What gives?
