Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says he’s been feeling like he’s been “clobbered over the head by a hammer” ... ever since he learned about the death of his friendSteve Jobs.
Wozniak appeared on the “Early Show” on CBS this morning … and said, "When I heard the news my mind went blank."
But Wozniak says, he hasn't been able to stop thinking about all the good times he shared with Jobs ... adding, "My head is swirling in it."
You'd think Steve Jobs' death would destroy financial markets across the globe -- but TMZ has learned, one commodity has experienced a dramatic upsurge in sales today ... mock turtlenecks.
You'll recall, Jobs famously rocked the high-neck knitwear during his keynote addresses for Apple -- and now, the company that makes his favorite sweaters says Jobs' death has doubled its business.
A rep for the St. Croix clothing brand tells TMZ, as soon as news broke that Jobs had passed, their mock turtlenecks flew off the shelves -- adding, St. Croix has experienced an "almost 100% increase in sales" since yesterday.
And Jobs' contribution to St. Croix hasn't gone unnoticed -- we're told the company is currently planning a memorial for the former CEO, but it hasn't decided exactly how it plans to honor its muse.
The rep says, "We have a great respect for everything he did and we're glad he believed in our American-made product."
