Jobs soldered?

He didn't design it; Woz did all of that. Jobs was just the marketing face. But when the order from Byte Shop for ~50 came, they obtained parts with a net-30 payment. To be able to pay that, I could swear I read that Jobs helped assemble them so they could finish in two weeks.

Little-known fact: Jobs was a serious electronics hobbyist throughout high school and his early 20s. It’s safe to say he did a lot of soldering.
