Apple Inc. is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, that outlines, creates and offers to the buyer hardware, machine programming and PCs. Steven Wozniak and Steven Jobs were classmates in secondary school. Both had been intrigued by gadgets and both had been considered outcasts. They stayed in touch after graduation and both ended up dropping out of school and landing jobs for organizations in Silicon Valley. (Woz for Hewlett-Packard, Jobs for Atari) (Company history) Another workstation club that may be vital to Apple's manufacturing began simply with a hand-written notice on notice sheets at some local universities reading " AMATEUR COMPUTER USER GROUP AND COMPUTER CLUB. Is it accurate to say that you are building your own computerized workstation? are you buying time with a time-demanding administration?” (Lusted page 23) The main gathering of the Homebrew Computer Club took place on March 5, 1975, in a carport in Menlo Park, California. It was following these meetings that Wozniak had an idea: he wanted to create an easy-to-understand desktop PC that would be accessible to people who were not workstation hobbyists and would not want to produce their own machine.
