Ron Wayne Rises to the Surface!

You really don't hear much about Ron Wayne anymore. Most people at least know that the ever so popular, Steve Jobs, founded Apple way before Apple was this successful of a company. At the time, Apple was really having a rough start and I honestly don't blame Ron Wayne for leaving Apple.

There's three main founders of Apple: the two Steves (Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs) and then Ron Wayne. Without a doubt, every one of them contributed to Apple in some way.

The original Apple logo, which is to your left, was designed by Ron Wayne himself. That logo, along with the first operators manual for Apple, was two of the major things Ron Wayne has done. But that's really not only the two things he has done.

CNN has recently posted a great review of Ron Wayne about his time over at Apple.

It's amazing that Ron Wayne could of really been a very sucessful person. When he left company, like the article states, he left for only $800, which was 10% of the share at the time. If you take 10% of that same share right now, that would be $22 billion dollars!

But don't make fun of Ron Wayne because of it. At the time, like he said in the video review by CNN, he stated that it was really either to stick around with the risks or even to just leave. Wayne stated that he didn't know how that path would take him if he stuck with Apple. It most likely would be tough, but when creating any company, it's tough no matter what you try to do.

Because we're not able to embed CNN's videos into this post, I highly encourage you to watch all the videos to see what Wayne said himself on CNN's website.

Apple is for sure an amazing company, and without the perfect combination of the two Steves and Ron, Apple, without a doubt, wouldn't be the same company you know them of today.

Head over to CNN's site, watch the videos, and then tell us your comments on it! Trust me, even if you're not an Apple fanboy, you'll still like that video.
