Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs created Apple Computers together, but Jobs wouldn't bite when asked to write the intro to Wozniak's memoir, "iWoz."

"We wanted him to do a foreword, but he declined," Wozniak tells Jacob Bernstein this week in WWDScoop, the new magazine from Women's Wear Daily. "He felt the book sort of portrayed me as a good guy and him as an a-hole."

Among other anti-Jobs anecdotes, Wozniak recalls in the book that when he invented a universal remote control and sent it to Jobs, he threw it against a wall, stuck it in a box, and mailed it back. "Steve had a fit about it," Wozniak tells Bernstein. "He was under the impression that I'd left Apple in a very negative mode."

But the engineering egghead says any passages that seem to dis and dismiss Jobs were the flavors stirred in by his ghostwriter, Gina Smith. "That's largely Gina's choice in writing, what to pick and how to say it," says the Wizard of Woz. "I would speak stories into the microphone and she would edit it together. I have limited time."
