Golden Year of Apple Computers

Apple Computer, a multi billion dollar company that has revolutionized the way people communicate. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple on a shoestring and went on to become American icons.
Apple Computer was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. While Wozniak provided the technical skills to produce the company's first computer, the Apple I, it's Jobs who became the face of the company.
Origins
Jobs met Wozniak in 1972 while they were working at Hewlett-Packard. In 1974, they joined "The Home brew Computer Club," a group of electronics enthusiasts interested in building home computers. While Wozniak considered computers a hobby, Jobs recognized their money-making potential, and convinced Wozniak they should build their own computer and start a business.
After successfully producing the Apple I, Wozniak went to work on the Apple II and finished a prototype in fall 1976. Looking to produce the Apple II on a larger scale, they offered the job to Commodore, a company that was producing the CPU used in the Apple II, but executives showed little interest. Using his now legendary skills as marketer and promoter, Jobs raised $93,000 in seed money from investors and hired an ad agency to promote the computer. Apple was officially incorporated in 1977 and went public in 1980. In 2008, Apple generated $32.6 billion in revenue.
