===Plane crash and temporary leave from Apple===
On February 7, 1981, the [[Beechcraft Bonanza]] A36TC which Wozniak was piloting (and not qualified to operate<ref>{{cite web |title = NTSB Identification: LAX81FA044 |url = https://www.ntsb.gov/Pages/brief.aspx?ev_id=27749 |publisher = National Transportation Safety Board |access-date = December 27, 2023 |archive-date = December 27, 2023 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20231227075838/https://www.ntsb.gov/Pages/brief.aspx?ev_id=27749 |url-status = live }}</ref>) crashed soon after takeoff from the [[Santa Cruz Sky Park|Sky Park Airport]] in [[Scotts Valley, California|Scotts Valley]], [[California]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Tirrell |first=Rick |title= The wisdom of resilience builders : how our best leaders create the world's most enduring enterprises |year=2009 |publisher= [[AuthorHouse]] |location=Bloomington, IN|isbn=978-1-4490-5323-9|page=236}}</ref> The airplane stalled while climbing, then bounced down the runway, broke through two fences, and crashed into an embankment. Wozniak and his three passengers—then-fiancée [[Candice Clark]], her brother Jack Clark, and Jack's girlfriend, Janet Valleau—were injured. Wozniak sustained severe face and head injuries, including losing a tooth, and also suffered for the following five weeks from [[anterograde amnesia]], the inability to create new memories. He had no memory of the crash, and did not remember his name while in the hospital or the things he did for a time after he was released.<ref name="byte198501">{{cite news | url=https://archive.org/details/BYTE_Vol_10-01_1985-01_Through_The_Hourglass/page/n167/mode/2up | title=The Apple Story / Part 2: More History and the Apple III | work=Byte | date=January 1985 | access-date=October 26, 2013 |last1=Williams |first1=Gregg |last2=Moore |first2=Rob | page=166 | type=interview}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=O'Grady|first=Jason D.|title=Apple Inc.|year=2009|publisher=Greenwood Press|location=Westport, Conn.|isbn=978-0-313-36244-6|page=27}}</ref> He would later state that Apple II computer games were what helped him regain his memory.<ref name="iWoz"/> The [[National Transportation Safety Board]] investigation report cited premature liftoff and pilot inexperience as probable causes of the crash.<ref name="Apple Confidential">{{cite book|last=Linzmayer|first=Owen W.|title=Apple Confidential 2.0 : The Definitive History of the World's Most Colorful Company|year=2004|publisher=No Starch Press|location=San Francisco, Calif.|isbn=1-59327-010-0|edition=Rev. 2nd}}</ref>{{rp|pages=28–30}}

Wozniak did not immediately return to Apple after recovering from the airplane crash, seeing it as a good reason to leave.<ref name="byte198501"/> ''Infinite Loop'' characterized this time: "Coming out of the semi-coma had been like flipping a reset switch in Woz's brain. It was as if in his thirty-year old body he had regained the mind he'd had at eighteen before all the computer madness had begun. And when that happened, Woz found he had little interest in engineering or design. Rather, in an odd sort of way, he wanted to start over fresh."<ref name="Infinite Loop">{{cite book|author-link=Michael S.
