Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak back home after minor Stroke

Earlier in the week, we reported that Woz has checked into a hospital in Mexico after suffering symptoms of Vertigo. Now the co-founder is back home in California recovering from a minor stroke.

As ABC News reports:

Wozniak told ABC News in a text Thursday that he felt dizzy Wednesday morning, then experienced vertigo before going to the hospital where a MRI revealed he had had a “minor but real stroke.”

Wozniak, 73, had been scheduled to speak at the World Business Forum in Mexico City, a two-day gathering billed as the world’s most important management event.
