The life of Steve Wozniak
Who is Steve Wozniak?
Steve Wozniak is an engineer who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne in 1976. Working at Hewlett-Packard by day, he designed and hand-built the Apple I, demonstrating it at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, then followed it with the Apple II, the machine that carried the company through its first decade. His designs were notable for extracting unusual capability from very few chips, including colour graphics and a floppy disk controller built from a fraction of the parts competitors required. He left day-to-day work at Apple in 1985 and has since worked in education and philanthropy.
