Steve Jobs born in Green Bay WI?

I didn't know the king of Apple was born in Green Bay Wisconsin(which is just 100 miles from here). I'll never look at Green Bay the same way again when I go there ever.

Steve Jobs was adopted and I believe the location of his real parents or birthplace is unknown.

I am going to go with Steve was really born in SanFran.. According to...

http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/200512040500/GPG0101/512040591

"Records of any presence Jobs ever had in Green Bay are about as scarce as an Apple sales franchise. In fact, Steven Jobs was born in San Francisco in February 1955, according to the California Office of Vital Records."

He was born in SF...people keep changing the Wikipedia entry back to the incorrect Green Bay listing (though the page is now locked due to vandalism.

See the talk page on his Wikipedia entry for more detail. There's a great link to a Green Bay newspaper article about his background and another link to a quote by Steve saying he was born in SF.
