| Aug 27, 2018 at 6:42 | comment | added | mcottle | @8bittree According to Markkula's wikipedia page "Jobs visited him and convinced Markkula of the market for the Apple II and personal computers in general." - Markkula joined in 1977, the Apple II was already on the market and the Apple 1 was history. My original comment stands. I believe Brian H confused Wayne and Markkula. Markkula had nothing to do with the Apple 1. | |
| Aug 27, 2018 at 3:42 | comment | added | 8bittree | @mcottle Wayne was there for less than 2 weeks before bailing, and the Apple 1 didn't go on sale until a few months after his departure. Markkula was there for the entire second half of the Apple 1 sales period. So while Brian H doesn't have any inaccuracies about Markkula's involvement, you are right that Wayne would have a bit more influence with the Apple 1, including writing the manual. It's not clear, at least in my research, whether Wayne had any influence in the numbering of the Apple 1, though. | |
