   Steve Jobs is nothing like Bill Gates.   
      
   Bill Gates learned his trade dumpster diving for mainframe core dumps.   
   He's written a sizable amount of computer software himself, much of it   
   groundbreaking.   
      
   Steve Jobs is just a guy who claims the credit for the good ideas and hard   
   work of other people.   The Woz is just the first of a long list.   
      
   Case in point:   Steve Jobs' name is on the architectural drawings of the   
   Apple Store glass staircases.    He must have learned a lot about building   
   those in his younger years when he backpacked across India.   LOL
