2. Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 –
October 5, 2011) was an American
businessman and inventor widely
recognized as a charismatic pioneer of
the personal computer revolution.He was
co-founder, chairman, and chief executive
officer of Apple Inc. Jobs was co-founder
and previously served as chief executive
of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a
member of the board of directors of The
Walt Disney Company in 2006, following
the acquisition of Pixar by Disney.
3. The name Apple was chosen because the
company to beat in the technology industry at
the time was Atari, and Apple Computer came
before Atari alphabetically and thus also in
the phone book. Another reason was that Jobs
had happy memories of working on an Oregon
apple farm one summer.
41. TV as the display system.
Text was displayed at a
terribly slow 60
characters per second.
Faster than teleprinters.
Included bootstrap code
on ROM.
42. Apple II included graphics, and, eventually,
color.
Much improved case and keyboard.
A number of different models of the Apple II
series were built, including the Apple IIe and
Apple IIGS
43.
44. The Apple III (Apple 3) was
designed to take on the IBM PC
in the business environment.
The physical design of the case
was not sufficient to cool the
components inside it.
Thousands of Apple III
computers were recalled
and, although a new model was
introduced in 1983 to rectify
the problems, the damage was
already done.
45. This new machine would feature a
completely different interface and
introduce the words
mouse, icon, and desktop.
They came away with new ideas that
would complete the foundation for
Apple Computer's first GUI
computer, the Apple Lisa.
The first iteration of Apple's WIMP
interface was a floppy disk.
46. Itcame bundled with two
applications designed to
show off its interface:
MacWrite and Mac Paint.
The Macintosh would
become known as the de-
facto platform for many
industries including
cinema, music, advertising,
publishing and the arts.
