if we are throwing theory around, maybe not having Woz would have caused Jobs to work even harder to make "the thing". maybe apple would have never cut Jobs. maybe OSX would never have been born. maybe Apple was then sold to Oracle after Microsoft released "mPhone Home Edition"...
...why not?

Haha completely fair. This is completely speculative fiction :D
Nice.
> Apple exists because of all the rare events happening early on that where capitalized later.
That's definitely true. I'm not sure if the same early Apple stuff would have happened. But I could see post 90's Apple still happening in some fashion, especially if Jobs was truly able to con(vince) people into giving him funding via the reality distortion field. Jobs would probably have had to work his way up a little slower, but I could see him by the 90's as a kinda cult tech figure, respected enough that he could really work the VC funding circuit.
