Apple I
As the Apple Two shocked people at first back than people were even more amazed at what engineering could be made in to, the Apple I is where it all started. Jobs wanted students and business professionals to have the Apple II instead of only the group club he was involved with ; but the bank thought as if that was absurd and non- mainstream. Banks would not lend the 'Two Steves" the money to keep on funding the Apple I to turn into the Apple II . They eventually found an investor who was willing to watch the two gentlemen at work and invested 250,000 dollars towards their crafting.
"Steve and I get a lot of credit, but Mike Markkula was probably more responsible for our early success, and you never hear about him." — Steve Wozniak, Failure Magazine, July 2000 The other Steve is referring that Mike Markkula is the one who invested for the Apple I to come about , but to others he may be unknown. |
Apple II
When the Apple II came out the "Two Steves" wanted for their creation to be able to go in schools. They wanted schools to teach their students how to learn to use a computer and how it could be helpful towards their education. The Apple II had features like it could plug into a TV set , and also the computer was in a case itself so when you opened it everything was right there. This computer made Apple become a Global Company making many want the contraption that was very useful. The company earned money but was deducted towards giving schools the computers and making sure the students were accustomed to using this computer to aid them. The recognition from different places still earned profit but their main goal was to get students and business professionals to familiarized with their computer.
The Macintosh (MAC)
The Mac was for I could say the rest of non higher working people. It was a computer that had graphics for people to enjoy with and a new way of interacting. The graphical user interface (GUI) is what made the computer so interesting towards others personal liking and using . Mainly the liking we have towards using the computers in out technology generation. Instead of remembering computer codes and commands the Mac graphics made you forget that the graphics are computer codes it's just you're not trying to remember them. The Mac was for personal use adults and children could use the computer it wasn't something that was difficult to understand and use. It was basically about moving a pointer and running a computer. The Mac started slowly in the market place but for Jobs and others dedication for perfection made the computer rise up towards the occasion of being like the Apple(s).
