Mr. Wozniak looking back at the time I was developing Apple I.


Mr. Wozniak got up at 4 o'clock every morning and was devoted to the development of Apple I's motherboard.


"In the design I was thinking at that time I had to open 8 holes on the motherboard, but I decided to reduce the hole to somehow 5. From there it was a trial and error day. We had to perfectly arrange the chips with only the holes, "says Wozniak.


Mr. Wozniak at the time that embraced the Apple II with hope.


Apple I. of the first made wooden frame. Apple I had a dream as Wozniak's engineer.


"When the Apple I was completed, I was convinced that" a revolution will occur. "I love to assemble a PC, and when I am small I ask my father" I have a big PC dedicated to my own in the future " So I started to assemble Apple I as part of my hobby, Steve Jobs came there and Steve cooked $ 20 (about 6000 yen at that rate) motherboard I bought it to the PC shop and I tried to sell it to the shop, but the store manager told me "All the people want is not a PC but a completed PC" was refused. "


After that, the two sold Apple I made from 250 dollars (about 75,000 yen) for 500 dollars (about 150,000 yen), and the store sold it for 666 dollars and 66 cents (about 200,000 yen).


Through these circumstances, the two will establish Apple, but Mr. Wozniak speaks meaningfully, "There are parts that are widely conveyed regarding the establishment."


"Apple was founded at Mr. Jobs' home garage and was working day and night," Wozniak says, "It was fun to say that we developed in the garage, the story of the garage is ours Although it looks like a symbol, I have never designed or developed it in a garage.It carried the finished product, confirmed the operation, it was just used to carry it to the shop where I sold it by car "I talked about the truth of the garage foundation.


Mr. Wozniak on a young age says "I think I was a geek by myself", a boy who is obsessed with machines.


"I was not watching the world with my friends in the same year, I feel like a little bit of a social struggle," Mr. Wozniak singing pleasantly.


Mr. Wozniak assembles Apple II.


"When I sold Apple II, the company received a tremendous investment, the moment Jobs changed into a businessman at that time."


As the company grew strongly, Mr. Jobs pushed herself in a suit and decided to cover the cover of the magazine and let him establish his own role.


"I got a salary enough to surprise all of the employees and became famous, but I just wanted my own PC, so I lent the hand to making Apple II." Mr. Wozniak has left Apple in 1987.


From the appearance of Mr. Wozniak who launched the assembled Apple II happily, it seems that it was a genuine engineer.
