Umm... He developed the first 'MAC' personal computer. If you want to
credit him with popularizing the GUI then that's fine but there were
personal computers before the Woz. I'm sure we also would have been
using computers for day to day tasks without him. The computer
revolution was already happening he just helped put a GUI on it.
