I’m no fanboy of either side, but can recognize bull when I see it.

I also subscribed to Mac Addict (now Mac Life) magazine since the very first issue. I still have every issue except for October 1996. Even though I’m comfortable using Windows, Linux, Android, Xbox 360, PS3, etc – the Mac is still my favorite.

According to Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, Atari offered $100 for each chip that was eliminated in the machine. Jobs had little interest in or knowledge of circuit board design and made a deal with Wozniak to split the bonus evenly between them if Wozniak could minimize the number of chips. Much to the amazement of Atari, Wozniak reduced the number of chips by 50, a design so tight that it was impossible to reproduce on an assembly line. According to Wozniak, Jobs told Wozniak that Atari gave them only $700 (instead of the offered $5,000) and that Wozniak’s share was thus $350”

That wasn’t very nice Steve…
