> [@kitap](#): > > I’ll take SCAdian’s. This is the only living W in business I can think of - are you Steve Wozniak? **Yes!!!** I am Apple co-founder, “the other Steve”, **Steve Wozniak**!! The expanded answer to #5 refers to the US Festivals, the attempt at a Gen-X version of Woodstock, that by the mid-90s, the Simpsons was making jokes about how it (and Apple) had been forgotten. Things I learned while answering the DQs - Not a billionaire, worth “only” 100 million. Started a company with the ridiculous name Wheels of Zeus, or WoZ. Dated alleged comedienne Kathy Griffin and was married to an Olympic kayak team member. For #11, President Reagan awarded him and Jobs the National Medal of Technology. Great job, **kitap**! ---
