I hadn't quite realised what a thoroughly decent guy he is. His attitude to wealth is exemplary and I love the story about him giving some of his Apple shares to the technicians who helped build the Apple products, after Steve Jobs tried to shaft them.

I really hope there's no "well, actually" response to this.

Even if the things Apple's mostly known for came after his involvement.
