MEXICO CITY (NEWSnet/AP) — Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak remained hospitalized Thursday in Mexico City following a “health problem” while he was in the city to speak at a business conference, according to a source close to the conference.

Wozniak, 73, had been scheduled to speak at the World Business Forum in Mexico City, a two-day gathering billed as the world’s most important management event.

He suffered the “health problem” shortly before he was scheduled to arrive at the event, the source said, declining to detail what the health problem was.

The ABC Santa Fe Hospital where Wozniak was taken said it would not provide any information.

Wozniak, who teamed up with the late Steve Jobs to found Apple in 1976, left the company in 1985 to pursue a wide range of other interests but has remained a fervent supporter of the company.
