Steve Wozniak was certainly not the driving force behind Apple's
Macintosh. The Macintosh was Jeff Raskin's idea, originally, was
foisted on Steve Jobs as the board of directors were certain
that it would fail and felt SJ needed "to be taught a lesson in
humility". SJ, of course, said "to f**k with that s**t" and made
it the basis of the company's future.
Woz was already moving away from the company: he had been in a
serious airplane accident and had a lot of difficulty returning
to work on computers. He decided to depart the scene at Apple
and move on to other things, the Mac wasn't his thing at all.
