Nicknamed “Woz”, the ‘original geek’ Steve Wozniak was not only Steve Job’s partner in establishing Apple, he was also the inventor of the Apple II computer, which helped propel Apple to greatness.

Not only did he help shape the entire early computing industry, he is also a philanthropist and gave away a huge part of his fortune to others. Wozniak is a true geek in every sense of the word.
