I wasn't actually aware there was a third co-founder. He could have done a lot of good with that money, had he kept the shares.

I saw this article in the local paper the day after the iPhone 4 event. Seems like he didn't like Steve and Woz's flakiness in the early days. I don't blame him. Still though, a $22 Billion mistake.

Wow, that's an amazing story I never knew about Apple's history. He's a bigger man than I am, because I'd be full of regret and hittin' bottle daily. I'd have snapped long ago!
