Wozniak was introduced by a friend. 1976, Jobs successfully persuaded Woz to assemble the machine and sell it. Their other friend, Ron Wayne (Ron
Wayne) also joined, and the three of them founded Apple Computer Company on April 1976.
In May of the same year, Jobs and Byte, a local computer store.
The person in charge said that he would be interested if the computer was fully assembled. The shopkeeper Paul tyrael (Paul
Terrell) On further consideration, he wants to order 50 sets of equipment and pay $500 each on delivery. After winning this order, Jobs sold all kinds of valuable things (such as HP 65 computer and a Volkswagen van) to raise money. Jobs went to Cramer, a large electronic parts distributor.
When ordering parts for electronic products, the store's credit manager asked Jobs how to settle the bill. He said, "I have a byte.
The shop ordered 50 computers from me on cash on delivery. If you give me a 30-day payment period, I can assemble the computer within the payment period, give it to Terry, and then pay the bill. The manager calls tyrael, who is attending the computer seminar of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in Pacific Forest. Tyrael was surprised by Jobs' tenacity. He confirmed the order to the manager and said that if Jobs handed it to him. Jobs must have enough money to pay. The three of them and two friends borrowed Jobs' garage, assembled and tested the marathon day and night, and finally delivered it to tyrael before the deadline. As promised, tyrael paid Jobs a salary to pay off the parts bill, and earned a considerable profit as the capital of the entrepreneurial experimental field to celebrate and keep.
It is said that Apple Company
Logo statement: Apple Computer Company used the bitten apple as a trademark pattern to commemorate alan turing, a great pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, which is actually a misinformation. Originated from the British film Enigma (20065438+0), which fabricated the above-mentioned plot about the relationship between Turing's suicide and Apple Logo, which was misinformed by some public and media.
The original Logo was designed by Wayne, one of the three founders, in 1976, when he was only producing apples.
I used it to draw a pen for Newton who was sitting under the apple tree reading a book. However, Newton's logo took a short time, and Jobs felt that copying and communication was too complicated, so at 1976, Jobs decided to redistribute Regis.
Rob Janov, artistic director of McKenna PR, redesigned a better logo to match the release of Apple II.
So Janov began to make a black and white silhouette of an apple, but he always felt that something was missing. "I want to simplify the shape of the apple and take a bite on one side (take a).
Bite)-one byte, yes, in case the apple looks like a tomato, "Janov explained. Then, Javov added six colorful stripes, thus completing the colorful Apple logo that we are familiar with today.
Apple's second-generation Logo has been used in 1998, and it was only modified when the iMac was released that it was changed into a monochrome series. In 2007, it was changed to metallic silver gray with shadows. In 20 13, it was changed to a flat pure black Logo without concave and convex feeling, which has been used ever since.
