He was into quite a lot of things. One of the rare examples of a person who was simultaneously a skilled programmer, a computer scientist and a business-savvy entrepreneur (though one sadly plagued by a lot of obstacles and circumstance).

I would go as far as to say that, at least as far as individuals go, he was the single most important in initiating the PC revolution, doubtlessly more so than Bill Gates or Steve Jobs or even Woz from the perspective of fundamentals.

He is also virtually unknown to the public. Go figure.
