70's was the wood age.

People keep saying the apple logo represents the apple that Adam and Eve ate, but the original logo clearly shows Isaac Newton.

my dad had one, Steve Jobs HATED these things. After the Apple II came out, he was literally trying to BUY BACK every Apple I that was sold by pretty much giving Apple I owners whatever the hell they wanted in Apple II hardware in a trade for their Apple I...

I'm reading the Steve Jobs biography right now. It's a trip to see inside this computer - in person as it were. Thanks for posting!

computers back then were mostly used for word processing in businesses. The Xerox computer was the 1st computer to have a mouse and a screen to represent a full size piece of paper, so what ever you typed on the screen is what you get when you print it.
Eventually apple took the idea of the "mouse" from xerox and used it on their computers but as for IBM they were more towards large businesses because they had more applications like Word, MS-DOS, Basic, Excel and so on.

What did people use this computer for back then.

@TheWhiteNinja100 Good question - I get this all the time - I did not show it as a normal TV set was used at that time and Apple 1 for a display. You most likely know but when you purchased an Apple 1 you only were purchasing a the PC board and had to add - power transformers - keyboard - and display. If you wanted it in a case you had build that as well. Almost the first 50 were sold to Byte Shop - .

@TheWhiteNinja100 Byte Shop (Started by Paul Terrel) and I think his company may have had some wooden cases made for the Apple 1. This Apple 1 was purchased by John Birch from Byte Shop and I don't know if he purchased it with case or made his own. However the case is beautiful. I purchased this Apple 1 from John Birch in the late 90's . I would love to ask him more about it however he passed away just a few years ago. I did get some nice documentation from John - Dave KK4WW
