The first Apple was just a culmination of my whole life.

I actually looked at an Apple ad from 1978. It was a print ad. That shows you how ancient it was. And it said, 'Thousands of people have discovered the Apple computer.' Thousands of people.

I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school.

I left Apple in April of 1984, pretty soon after the introduction of the Mac.

I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken.

The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere.

As far as Apple goes, it was a different company every few years from the time I joined in 1984.

Steve Jobs came back to Apple in 1997 - the iPod came out 4 years later. 3 years after that is the first time his market cap grew. It took 7 years.

There is no doubt that, since 1977 and the launch of Apple II - the first computer it produced for the mass market - many things which used to be done on paper, or on the telephone, have been done easier and faster on a screen.

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80.
