Ikhompyutha yokuqala ye-Apple emlandweni, i-Apple-1 Kwakunekhithi elincane lokuzihlanganisela ikhompyutha. Abathengi kwakudingeka bathengise noma yiziphi izipisi abazidingayo kubhodi yomama nakwezinye izinto ezifana nekhibhodi, umonitha, ngisho nokunikezwa kwamandla. UPaul Terrel wahlabeka umxhwele ngokuthi kungani bengakwenzanga ikhompyutha ephelele ukuze abasebenzisi babo kungadingeki bazihlanganise ngokwabo.
UPaul terrel wavula isitolo esibizwa Isitolo se-Byte eMountain View ngoDisemba 1975. Kwakungesinye sezitolo zokuqala zamakhompiyutha emhlabeni futhi kwavangela abaningi ukusiza lezi zinhlobo zezitolo zisabalale emhlabeni wonke. Kungani ngikutshela lokhu?
Ngo-1976 ama-geek amabili anothando lomkhakha wezobuchwepheshe angena emnyango wakhe futhi azama ukukholisa uTerrel ukuthi athenge ikhompiyutha eyisisekelo abayakhe ndawonye. Lezi zinhlamvu ezimbili zazingu Steve Jobs y USteve Wozniak.
Ikhompiyutha ayizange ifake necala, ekuqaleni, ngakho-ke lapho uSteve Jobs emi esitolo sikaPaul Terrell (Umnikazi wesinye sezitolo zokuqala zamakhompiyutha kule ndawo) wakhombisa ukuba nentshisekelo ngemishini kodwa ngokunengqondo kuyadingeka njengesidingo sokuthengisa okokusebenza obekunezindlu.
Izitokisi nazo zenziwa yibo, nabangane abanjengentombi kaJobs, ngokhuni kuphela. Le khompyutha ithengiselwe uTerrell ngo- $ 500 kwathi kamuva yadayiselwa umphakathi ngesamba esaziwayo esingu- $ 666.66.
