True. At lease the case was.
The
Apple I, circa 1976, was made and designed by
Stev
e Wozniak in Palo Alto, California. Only 200 were made, and sold for U
S$600 fully assembled as a circuit board, but to get it to work you needed to p
urchase a case, power supply, keyboard and display. Its CPU was a MOS 6502 runn
ing at 1kHz. It came standard with 4kb memory. It was discontinued a year later
when the
Apple ][ came out.
Today, maybe 30 to 50 units still exist. At an auction in 1999, one sold for US
$50,000.
Humble beginnings, and the start of something good.
False. The one pictured at top in the Smithsonian was just one of motherboard
s for which a case was made by a hobbiest. The actual computer itself is the m
otherboard, which in many cases nobody built a case for and was not made of woo
d. In computer training labs people run nothing but the old Commodore KIM-1s w
hich are nothing but a motherboard, LED display, and hex keypad; frequently w
hen PC techs are testing motherboards if they work, and we don't have a case, w
e just plug in an ATX powersupply, keyboard, and videocard to the motherboard l
aying on foam or an antistatic plastic bag the motherboard shipped in
Computer and wood? it all sounds unbelievable. I feel it's just too sophisticated and complicated to be even tried on wood but just to clear my doubts I did a quick GK on Steve Wozniak. Steve Wozniak is an American computer engineer who co-founded Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc.) with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne. I'm not sure whether the picture displayed on this page is his inventions or not but he created the Apple I and Apple II computers in the mid-1970s, so any resemblance to the two wood cases?. Wozniak is also known by other names such as "The Woz", "Wonderful Wizard of Woz" and "iWoz".
