Not as famous as Steve Jobs, but his programming language is running on most of your devices, apple or not. Even the micro-controller on your microwave oven is probably programmed in some sort of C.

Writing an entirely new computer language...and explaining it in a 20 page training manual. Really have to be doing something right.

I worked at the same company at the same time. But I never met any of the Unix guys from NJ. I wish I had.
