===UC Berkeley and US Festivals=== [[File:Steve Wozniak, 1983.jpg|thumb|Wozniak in 1983]] Later in 1981, after recovering from the plane crash, Wozniak re-enrolled at UC Berkeley to complete his [[Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences]] degree that he started there in 1971 (and which he would finish in 1986).<ref>[https://engineering.berkeley.edu/steve-wozniak-inventor-and-apple-co-founder/ Berkeley Engineering - Steve Wozniak: Inventor and Apple co-founder] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220802192606/https://engineering.berkeley.edu/steve-wozniak-inventor-and-apple-co-founder/ |date=August 2, 2022 }} Retrieved August 2, 2022</ref> Because his name was well known at this point, he enrolled under the name Rocky Raccoon Clark, which is the name listed on his diploma,<ref name=wozorg/><ref name="wozemployee"/><ref name=theconversation/> although he did not officially receive his degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences until 1987.<ref name=Jobs&Woz/><ref name=wozorg/> In May 1982 and 1983, Wozniak, with help from professional concert promoter [[Bill Graham (promoter)|Bill Graham]], founded the company Unuson, an abbreviation of "unite us in song",<ref name="World According">{{cite magazine | magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] | date=September 1, 1998 | first=Gary | last=Wolf | title=The World According to Woz | url=https://www.wired.com/1998/09/woz/ | access-date=July 18, 2019 | archive-date=October 10, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010015319/https://www.wired.com/1998/09/woz/ | url-status=live }}</ref> which sponsored two [[US Festival]]s, with "US" pronounced like the pronoun, not as initials. Initially intended to celebrate evolving technologies, the festivals ended up as a technology exposition and a rock festival as a combination of music, computers, television, and people. After losing several million dollars on the 1982 festival, Wozniak stated that unless the 1983 event turned a profit, he would end his involvement with rock festivals and get back to designing computers.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Us Festival: More Music, Money and Madness|magazine=[[Rolling Stone]]|date=June 9, 1983 |issue=397|pages=42β45}}</ref> Later that year, Wozniak returned to Apple product development, desiring no more of a role than that of an engineer and a motivational factor for the Apple workforce.<ref name="iWoz" /><ref name="Infinite Loop"/>{{rp|323β324}}
