Why is Jobs more well known than Wozniak?

Could it be that Wozniak preferred to let Jobs have the spotlight?

Was it a spotlight or a flood lamp?

Since Steve Jobs was the face of Apple for a long time, would it not be a spotlight?

In lighting terms would that mean that instead of just drawing attention to Jobs by shining a light on him he used a light that was so bright that it blinded everyone?

Was the bright light not intended to ensure that much of what was going on with Apple was hidden in the dark?

Wouldn't that call attention to it rather than hide it?

Why purchase yesterday's tech at tomorrow's prices anyway?

What if yesterday's tech is better than tomorrow's tech? As an example: Isn't Minidisc is actually better than digital audio players because of its simplicity (record a Minidisc and listen it without the need for music library management)?

Why are vinyl records making a come-back? Will 8 track ever reappear?

If I win the lottery, would I vow to bring back the 8-track?

Were you one of those people who did not mind your 8-track spilling the tape out of the cartridge? Were you also one of those who tossed the resulting mess out the car window?
