When Steve Jobs

that he would be resigning from Apple

, the entire tech world blew up. Some felt angst, others happiness, others confused. So how did the man who helped Jobs start the company feel? In comments reprinted from

co-founder Steve Wozniak said, “He really has had to sacrifice a lot to run Apple.” Wozniak spoke with BYTE in an interview last night. “I mean, just your time, everybody wants you day and night, that's what I mean by sacrifices. It takes so much out of anyone to be under just contant [sic] pressure and demands like that.” Wozniak continued, “Steve needs now to just have some ‘Steve time.' He deserves it.” Wozniak, who is now the Chief Data Scientist at Fusion-IO

, also discussed what the impact Jobs leaving would have on Apple, if any. "You've got to remember. He was surrounded by great, great people at Apple … and those people are still there. I don't think the core Apple culture will change because of (Jobs') leaving, not for a long time. Apple is set up. It just needs to stay financially responsible."
