BERKELEY -- Apple-co-founder Steve Wozniak sent UC Berkeley graduates into the world Saturday with a freewheeling and informal commencement speech -- and two mathematical formulas a fifth-grader could understand:

1) Happiness equals S minus F (smiles minus frowns).

2) Happiness equals F cubed -- food, fun and friends.

"I said this once at my high school, and the kids started laughing," he added. "I had to admit there might be a fourth 'F.'"

The man who launched the personal computer industry told the 3,900 students seated on the field of Memorial Stadium that they should strive for fulfillment, not money -- a reassuring message, perhaps, for those entering a tight job market -- and to stay true to their ideals.

"A lot of us get successful in life," he said. "We get money, we get wealth, we get fame, like I did. A lot of people become different people than they were."

In his 15-minute address, Wozniak covered a wide range of topics. He reminisced about his youthful adventures as a Cal student (driving a car packed with friends down to Tijuana on the weekends), touched on pacifism and the roots of conflict, speculated about the nearing reality of the "conscious" computer that knows our innermost thoughts and praised the simple pricing structure at Top Dog, a hot dog joint he frequented as a student.
