    I remember taking a circuitry class in high school. About half of the class was learning the math of putting together circuits, then the other half was building them.
    I remember when we did an entire exam where we had to simplify circuits down to the most efficient design possible. It was not easy.
    Then, our teacher showed us schematics of the Apple I main board. It was astonishing.
    You can respect Steve Wozniak as a genius, but you don't truly understand why and how until you see something like that. Dude's one of the best IC designers of all time.

    • @CntrazZombie4
      @CntrazZombie4 4 місяці тому +6

      It's a neverending shame that Wozniak's sheer talent will seemingly never become as widely recognized as the genius he is because of how much of an enigmatic-charlatan that Steve Jobs is.

    I don't think you could emphasize enough just how different the 70's hobbyist computer scene was back then. Even if you had all the money you needed to buy the components you needed to build your computer, it didn't necessarily mean you could get all the components. I remember watching a really great video where someone put together a DIY television terminal from a magazine a while back, but I can't remember the name and it's absolutely killing me. It went into detail about how difficult just getting components like a keyboard could be, as manufacturers wouldn't really even sell to you because they only made components for business machines and would thus only be interested in selling to businesses. Often you'd have to salvage a keyboard from a decommissioned machine that a business threw out. If I can remember the name of the video, I'll make sure to add it to this comment.
    Edit: I think I found the video, it's called 'The "Typewriter" That Changed The World" by Tech Time Traveller. Definitely go check it out to learn what it was like to be a computer hobbyist in the early 70's!

    To this day it still bugs me that the public loves the wrong steve. When you say apple made this or that design choice, it doesn't tell the story. The apple 1 & first version of the apple 2 were in Woz's words an individual design project. Woz alone designed the apple 1 & 2. Jobs was the marketing guy Woz was the creator, hardware & code.

    A few additions. Apple was not the first to use a composite monitor for a personal computer. That honor is to the Sol-PC (mainboard only)/Sol-10(mainboard plus case plus keyboard)/Sol-20(Sol-10 with numeric keyboard), first available from March 1976. Before that, Processor Technology (who created it), made the VDM-1 in late 1975. The VDM-1 was an expansion card on the Altair 8800, giving it a composite output and keyboard interface. The Sol-PC was only $575 as kit and assembled for $745.
    Also, I miss the MOS KIM-1 which also had a lot of influence on the Apple I creation, being the first computer using the MOS 6502 CPU.
    Lastly, the Apple I was indeed a friendly computer for its time. However, you only bought a board. There was no power supply, no keyboard, no case and no cassette interface. The market was still for hobbyists. It took until 1977 with the release of the Commodore PET 2001, Apple II and Tandy TRS-80 before you can start a computer and immediately start talking English to it, BASIC. Commodore PET 2001 was announced in January 1977, but only became available in June that year. Similar to Apple, who announced in April and released in June, Tandy was totally unexpected with an announcement and release in August 1977.

    • @AaronOfMpls

      All three of those 1977 computers apparently had some surprising interconnections in their development, too. LowSpecGamer touched on it in one of his videos; I don't remember if it was the MOS 6502 video (on "the first LowSpec Processor") or the Z80 video.

    Your history of computers is a little off.
    mainframe systems never went away. They shifted to terminal interfaces, and eventually to terminal emulators (this is why the Linux terminal is called that in the first place….that entire concept of a command line where you interact with the computer through keywords and flags has its origin in mainframe terminal interfaces. And those systems are still in use and will be for at least 50 more years, and they probably won’t be replaced because the hardware is still getting updated.
    Besides that, you did a decent history of Apple’s place in the microcomputer space.

    The Apple-1’s design was intentionally not patented and its schematics and PCs layout were included with the manuals. Because of this, you can buy a newly made unpopulated pcb for anywhere between $40 and $150 depending on the accuracy. And around 95% of its parts are still made (including the 6502 cpu!) so there are actually a lot more than 20 left.

    Apple had a graphical OS before Microsoft Windows, but I don't that Apple puts everything behind a walled garden. They don't license out their OS to manufactures they way Microsoft does with WIndows or let anyone build a custom Mac with Apple's MacOS. This limits your choices. On the PC side, you have so many different PCs to choose from whereas on the Mac side, you are limed to only what Apple offers. Plus Apple has refused to make a touchscreen laptop or a 2-in-1. Microsoft doesn't make the devices that Windows runs out wheres apple makes both the computer and the OS. I think Apple wants to control both the hardware and software
