    Everyone has heard about Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak as founder and co-founder of Apple. But very few people know Ron Wayne. Apparently, he was the third co-founder of Apple.

    Ouch!

    That guy is really happy he made the choices he did. Actually, his attitude is inspiring.

    Not 'Ouch' at all.

    How do you know he is telling the truth to the world. Very rarely do people reveal about their misfortune especially when the loss is billions of dollars.

    Because he sounds like he means it. No sour grapes there.

    Is that self reflection there? I'm sure a part of him would be regretful but deciding on your behalf that he is lying is not warranted.

    Just telling it how I see it. If you don't care about the lost fortune and are happy with your decisions I would just keep a low profile and continue living my happy life instead of giving news interviews and broadcasting to the world "hey I was the third co-founder of Apple and happen to sell my 10% stake for $800 but I think I made the right decision and don't regret on not making a fortune. I just wanted everyone out there to know I am really happy about my decision :rolleyes:."

    Cheers,
    Oracle.

    Look like $800 was only part 1 of the payment, part 2 was only slighter higher though (around $1500 from memory as I read it a few days back) , and in his own words, he was only involved for 12 days in total
