It was in 1976 when Apple Computers Inc. was founded to provide more personal computers. The founders were: Ronald Wayne, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. Their dream is to make computers smaller and more accessible to the citizens. A year after they've discovered Apple, they introduced the Apple I PC. Afterward, 200 more were produced.
It all started when Jobs went to The Byte Shop, a computer store which bought each of Jobs' 50 units for $500 each. Afterward, he purchased various components in Cramer Electronics. In order to acquire all the parts, he tried to borrow some space from his friends and relatives and even sold his Volkswagen Type 2 bus. When he finally got all the parts, Wozniak and Wayne finally started to assemble Apple I.
In 1977, the Apple II was introduced and quickly became much more popular than its competitors, the TRS-80 and the Commodore even though the price of the Apple was higher. One of the big advantages of the Apple was the development of the floppy disk drive and software.
After introducing the Apple II, the programmers of VisCalc decided to use it as their desktop platform. VisCalc is a spreadsheet program which is also referred to as the 'killer app'. This gave a huge impact to Apple and attracted more developers both on hardware and software. In fact, even home users want to use Apple II for their use in their business.
Over the years, the Apple computer would release many more designs each one just a little better than the last. In 1989, Apple introduced the Macintosh Portable. However, this computer was actually quite bulky and cumbersome and was met with mixed reviews. At this point, Apple hired industrial designers to develop a better, more portable personal computer.
Two years after the introduction of the Macintosh Portable, the Apple Power Book was developed which has a resemblance to the laptops today. This development further escalated the reputation of Apple as an excellent manufacturer of portable machines.
While they have had their ups and downs over the years, Apple Computers, Inc. has remained a solid presence in the computer and laptop market. Their products have continued to evolve to meet the needs of both the corporate and individual user.
