"Steve Wozniak first showed the prototype Apple-1 to his friends at the Homebrew Computer Club in April 1976. For $666.66 buyers received a blank printed circuit board, a kit of parts, and a 16-page assembly manual. In order to make a useful computer, one had to add a power supply, keyboard, and display. Wozniak and his high-school friend Steve Jobs went into small-scale production when The Byte Shop in Mountain View ordered fifty assembled boards."

The original Apple Computer, also known retroactively as the Apple I, or Apple-1, is a personal computer released by the Apple Computer Company (now Apple Inc.) in 1976. They were designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak. Wozniak's friend Steve Jobs had the idea of selling the computer. The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only means of transportation, a VW Microbus and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500. It was demonstrated in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California.
