He got a little nuts back in the day, which culminated in him crashing his plane. When he got out of the hospital, he took stock of his life and decided he wanted to go back to the obscurity of just being a quiet tinkerer. I think this is when he invented the universal remote.
Anyway, Jobs refused to accept his resignation and to this day Woz still gets paid a regular salary and is still an official Apple employee... he just doesn't have to go to work. He also still gets his shares and benefits.
I've always thought it was pretty cool of Jobs to do that. Woz was pretty messed up when he walked out. There were bouts of amnesia from the plane crash, and a whole pile of other things going on at the time.
