Backed by an image of himself alongside fellow founder Steve Wozniak in their company’s earliest days, Steve Jobs speaks during an Apple event in 2010.

Company co-founder Steve Wozniak is aware of the clamor this week over Apple’s rapidly accelerated assault on the trillion-dollar-market-cap distinction, but, according to a Yahoo Finance report, he’s far from fixated on it.

In the words of Wozniak, who founded Apple 42 years ago alongside the legendary Steve Jobs, remaining with the company full-time till 1985:

‘Of course I’m proud of Apple, but I don’t measure the world by human simplifications like round numbers. A company is great because it is great.’
