Why he might be annoying:

    He created, built and sold the blue box (an illegal piece of electronics that made free phone calls ripping off the phone company).
    He dropped out of college.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He built computers for the sheer joy of making them work better.
    He has a hippy mentality and was happy doing his work in shorts and sandals.
    He is not greedy.
    Despite making a few million from Apple, he could have made 100s of millions but really didn't care for the lavish lifestyle.
    In the beginning days of Apple, Steve Jobs was interested in high profit margins, but Wozniak refused and wanted a fair price for computer enthusiasts.
    Using his illegal blue box to make free long distance phone calls, his first call was to Pope John Paul II to confess.
    He sold his HP scientific calculator to raise funds to start Apple.
    The Apple I was the first single board computer (no monitor, no keyboard, no ram) for $666.
    After making his millions, he decided to enroll back in college, under the name Rocky Clark, so not to have the notoriety of Steve Wozniak.
    He spent and lost a lot of his own money sponsoring two rock concerts, but did it for the enjoyment of others.
    He donated more than seven million dollars to charity.
    His love is to teach computers to both teachers and younger students.
