History of Apple Computer

Standard

On April 1, 1976, Apple computer was born. Steven Wozniak, a college drop-out who worked for Hewlett-Packard, dabbled in computer-design and created what would become the Apple I. His high school buddy Steve Jobs, who originally worked for Atari convinced him that the two should form a company to market the new computer, which eventually took off in 1977 with the Apple II.

Ironically, this post was in draft form yesterday. I decided to release it today as a tribute to the now late Steve Jobs. He will be missed.
