Ron Wayne quits Apple - 30 years ago
The company was just a couple of weeks old, but he had to quit.
Ron Wayne, one of the original stakeholders in Apple Computer was apparently worried about debt. I sympathize with
Ron's decision, having been involved in one too many startups. Unfortunately, Ron could be a billionaire today if he'd
stuck it out. But that's life, isn't it? To hear just a bit more on Ron's decision, and to hear a lot more from some of
the first Apple employees, listen to TWiT
#48. It's Dvorak-free. [Via Apple Matters]

"Unfortunately, Ron could be a billionaire today if he'd stuck it out."
Actually, that is not true. A few weeks ago I visited the alternate dimension where he ended up staying and it was totally devoid of Apple. No Windows either, which stands to reason...who would they have copied from? Nothing very exciting in that alternate dimension, lots of monochrome displays and Ctrl-key driven apps.
The daily IBM company songs were kind of keen...

Dvorak is what makes TwiT worth listening to.
