Part of the problem is that way too many people associate everything about Apple (from Day 1 of the company) with Steve Jobs. They don't give credit to others who have been part of all that is Apple, preferring to think its all coming from the mind of Steve Jobs. Who invented the various iPods? In the eyes of the masses Steve Jobs did. iMac? Again, they feel it was Steve Jobs iBook? Why, Steve Jobs of course! MacBook/MacBook Pro? Steve Jobs did! iPhone? That was Steve Jobs again! I know of people who, when I say Steve Wozniak (of even just Woz) when referring to my older Apples (][e's and a //c) say "Who?" and its only when I say he and Steve Jobs started Apple that they know what I am talking about. They admit that they only associate Steve Jobs with Apple because thats all we hear about these days. The news the other night mentioned he was a founder of Apple Computer and the photo they showed was not the familiar one of him and Woz with the original Apple but one of just Steve Jobs with an early computer. This will just further the belief for some people that Steve Jobs = Apple
