The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only means of transportation, a VW van and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $ 500.

Unlike other hobbyist computers of its day, which were sold as kits, the Apple I was a fully assembled circuit board containing about 60 + chips.

The Apple I's built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive.

As Wozniak was the only person who could answer most customer support questions about the computer, the company offered Apple I owners discounts and trade-ins for Apple IIs to persuade them to return their computers, contributing to their scarcity.

The high price was likely due to the rare documents and packaging offered in the sale in addition to the computer, including the original packaging ( with the return label showing Steve Jobs ' parents ' address, the original Apple Computer Inc ' headquarters ' being their garage ), a personally typed and signed letter from Jobs ( answering technical questions about the computer ), and the original invoice showing ' Steven ' as the salesman.

Applesoft BASIC was a dialect of Microsoft BASIC supplied with the Apple II series of computers.

It superseded Integer BASIC and was the BASIC in ROM in all Apple II series computers after the original Apple II model.

Applesoft BASIC was supplied by Microsoft and its name is derived from the names of both Apple and Microsoft.

Applesoft II, which was made available on cassette and disk and in the ROM of the Apple II Plus and subsequent models, was released in 1978.

As Steve Wozniak, the creator of Integer BASIC and the only person who understood it well enough to add floating point features, was busy with the Disk II drive and controller and with Apple DOS, Apple turned to Microsoft, who was the BASIC vendor of choice after their success with Altair BASIC, and licensed a 10 KB assembly language version of BASIC dubbed " Applesoft.

No provision was added in the 128 kB Apple IIe and Apple IIc models ' BASIC interpreters for the new machines ' extra memory and double-resolution graphics, or for the Apple II's 16-color mode.

It seems likely that memory constraints were at the root of these differences, as the Apple II ROM had only 10 kilobytes available for the interpreter, and the improved hi-res graphics support was clearly a higher priority.

The Apple II disk operating system, known simply as DOS, thus intercepted all input typed at the BASIC command prompt to determine whether it was a DOS command.

The American subsidiary, then headed by ex-Microsoft executive Alan M. Boyd achieved considerable attention ( particularly from Esther Dyson who understood its potential ) but was eventually sidelined when Apple elected to bundle their Hypercard product free with every Macintosh.

It was also used in the Psion Series 3, in the NEC PC-9801 ( originally released in 1982 ), the Olivetti PCS86, the Applied Engineering " PC Transporter " emulator for the Apple II series of computers, and in various arcade machines ( particularly ones made by Irem ) in the late 1980s.

Apple, wishing to seamlessly transition its Macintosh computers to PowerPC, found this to be particularly problematic.

One particularly high-profile project of the ACG is Apple / Genentech BLAST ( an algorithm for comparing biological sequences, such as the amino-acid sequences of different proteins ) which runs several times faster on Power Mac and Xserve than generic BLAST runs on other platforms.

They have concentrated on areas where O ' Connor and Robertson think that the computer, and particularly graphics capabilities of the Apple Macintosh, can give insights not available in other ways.

The Atari 2600 and NES are particularly interesting because they use the 6502 instruction set, likely familiar to people who have programmed 8-bit home computers, such as the Commodore 64 or Apple II.

The discrepancy in time is particularly noticeable when it comes to computers ; in High Wizardry Nita's family obtains a brand new " Apple IIIc +," apparently modelled on the Apple IIc + of 1988, while less than a year or two later in Wizard's Holiday Dairine's computer Spot is apparently imitating an Apple Titanium PowerBook.

Not only would Steve personally release many of the new Apple products to the public ( often causing a firestorm of consumer hype ), but his unique managing style in which he pushed people past their limits and refused anything but perfection, which was dubbed the reality distortion field, made him arguably one of the most effective CEOs of all time.
