Jobs was a little nuts

I was watching the movie [Pirates of SIlicon Valley] yesterday (I’m in Canada so we rented at the video store) and got the impression that if you took more charge instead of Jobs, Apple would be in a much better position today. You looked like you were opposed to the infighting, and it looked like you thought Jobs was a little nuts at times. Do you agree?

Woz

I think that it’s fair to say that we’d have run things quite differently. I’m more into patience and talking and not fighting or having conflicts. I don’t like to step on other’s toes or call them idiots. I prefer to work with them to get better results.

But I think that would have been disastrous for Apple. A better partnership between the two of us might have helped more.
