Woz is better. he was always the brains of the group, and he wasn't as crazy mad like Jobs could become.

There should be a choice of "I love them both equally."

I only have so many posters of Woz on my ceiling...

That was my first Apple computer and I used it 'til '96

Then my dad had the great idea of selling it to the Swedish Apple store who wanted it for their little "museum" of Apple products.

I think Woz is cooler.

Steve is more charismatic though.

It was hard for me to vote as i had never seen Woz in a black turtle neck, but I used my imagination and decided that woz looked better in an imaginary black turtle neck, hence, much cooler

Woz actually invented the stuff at the beginning - if it weren't for him, the whole thing never would have happened.

I guess I just like the Artist in him.

I love those cheesy films, though...

Oh, only a loose analogy, of course, mainly because of the bearded Woz/Spencer: anyway, it would be cool if they (the Steves) returned together, against all the "evildoers" in the software/hardware world.

OK, Bud and Terence were much better at that, maybe...

They were best as a team. what one lacked the other had...they were/are a pair. Like Paul & John, Liam & Noel, Mick & Keith, etc, etc....

I like em both.
Woz was/is an exceptional engineer. Jobs is an exceptional visionary/cultural force...they both do, what they do...best.

I met Jobs in the Palo Alto Apple store a few months ago! He was buying some CD-Rs and a cable of some sort. Nice guy. His wife is cool too.

I'm surprised by the results - I think Jobs would be, too

Personally, I view Jobs as being "cooler," as in, more popular and such. "Cooler."

Woz, however, is probably someone I'd rather live, work, or spend the weekend with. Just seems like a friendly, down to earth, cool guy.

Wait... did I just say cool?

Cool can have multiple meanings!! Nooo!

I am sure Woz is a busy man... However, he often posts/makes replies on one of the PowerBook G4 mailing list. I am proud of him.
