Steve Wozniak was born in 1950, was completely different to the boys of his age and he liked electronics. At thirteen he won a science prize for building his own machine to subtract and add, with transistors that gave Fairchild an engineer, "I became interested in electronics because of him" he would say later the "Woz." In 1968, at the age of eighteen, went to college in Colorado, eventually moved to California to continue at the University of Berkeley, Engineering and Computer Science.Wosniak met Steve Jobs, who was five years younger than himself, Jobs had grown up in Mountain View, and her adoptive parents, not well known on high technology. After Jobs' family moved to Los Altos, Woz knew him a bit more through a mutual friend, just before his fourteenth year Jobs. Although shared his interest in computers, differed in their way of being. Woz was a person who carried his ideas into practice, however Jobs seemed to see electronics as a means to an end. Woz would say, "winning is not as important as me running after the ball," referring to tennis. Woz, Jobs had no ambition and had nothing in her head than her.Wozniak and Jobs did not have much passion for school, no interest to them academic style and, therefore, see picture of them with a beard, worn jeans and sandals. At that time, Jobs took a job at Atari, while Wozniak had taken a leave Berkeley to go to work at Hewlett-Packard, the design of calculators. Atari was a new company in Sunnyvale that made video games. Jobs was hired by Atari, simply because it was filed one day there. Al Alcorn co-founder of Atari would say, "The personnel director comes to me and tells me, that was a hippie who seemed to have come from the mountains, the guy asks me ... - I call the police?" - ". Alcorn was intrigued and decided to recruit him.The best thing that Jobs was brought to Woz Atari, which had already been commissioned a work for Atari, after demonstrating his own variant of Pong, Bushnell and Alcorn. Woz Pong ended up being responsible for a single player who wanted to Bushnell.It is called BreakOut. For four nights Wozniak and Jobs developed BreakOut joined him.While attending a computer exhibition in San Francisco, Wozniak discovered a small maker of semiconductor chips being sold for $ 20. It was an Intel chip but the 6205 from MOS Technology, was more than enough for what I had in mind. At last built a computer, though it was fully assembled. Despite its appearance of unfinished product, proposed an improvement on the Altair, and he used fewer components. Woz In this way, he astonished his friends at the Homebrew Club.But as expected in this story, Woz just liked that, did not have the spirit of 'ambition' that I did Jobs, who saw this 'wonder' In other words, if a few fans were astonished, what could happen to a bigger market? Jobs intuitively understood the significance of what Gordon Moore had recognized a decade ago, due to miniaturization, the chips would necessarily be cheaper and would be available to everyone.Jobs thought: What if Wozniak could be persuaded to make your computer in great numbers? Woz would remain the engineer, and Jobs seller. It was in the beginning of 1976, Jobs and Woz was twenty-twenty-six. Both regarded the idea of ​​starting a business: Woz sold his HP-65 calculator and Jobs, his VW bus.How they agreed on "Apple Computer", depends on which side of the story you accept. It could have been a good reminder of Jobs in the days of gardening in Oregon or intermittent diet based on fruits. Even "Apple" could have been simply a way to create a name with a good sound, quite American in a high-tech industry not known to radiate warmth. The original Apple logo was unimaginative, showing someone under an apple tree, but the company came out with the friendly apple rainbow, which has remained the best known brand in the world of computing.
