Ron Wayne is usually just another gambler at the Nugget Hotel & Casino in Nevada. He comes here a couple of days a week to try his luck on the video poker machine. But on this trip, he drew some curious onlookers, as he was escorted by a CNN camera crew. A gift-shop worker asked him if he’s famous.
“Well, I’m one of the founders of Apple Computer,” Wayne responded.
Wayne, 76, is used to the puzzled looks. He said people assume that he must be living in a mansion.
“I’m living off my Social Security and I do a modest trade in collectors’ stamps and coins,” he said.
