News Summary

• Ronald G. Wayne founded what was then known as the Apple Computer Company with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.
• The Steves each got a 45% stake of the fledgling company, and Wayne received 10%.
• Wayne, fearing liability should the start-up run into financial trouble, legally removed his name from the Apple partnership.
• Today, Apple's market cap is some $3.6 trillion, meaning that had Wayne held onto his share, he'd be an obscenely rich man.
