Apple Computer Founders in Brief
Handymen make money from instrumental works and paid for small jobs normally. Such skilled-job workers are mostly driven by personal hobbies to engage with certain pleasing activities during leisure time. Yet, handymen are not only people with small money to reap from their skill. Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, founders of Apple Computer, have proven to people that hobby as handymen can also make somebody rich and carved a significant relief in the history of computer advancement.
Steve Wozniak was born on August 11, 1950 in San Jose Silicon Valley. He inherited the spirit of engineer from his father. Wozniak attended many schools during his teenage years and joined a plenty of electronic competitions. The first championship on electronic competition was in 1967 when he designed a homemade machine. His deep interest in computer was further flourished with the assistance of his teachers at schools who eventually promoted him to work for DEC Computer. The great journey of Wozniak took a leap beginning during this first job, including an obsession to design a new computer.
In 1968, Wozniak met Steve Jobs who came with a small job to get done. As Jobs was not really keen on computer and electronics, his friendship with Wozniak went flat. Entering 1971, Wozniak began create his first new small computer called as the Cream Soda Computer, a self calculator with memory programming which is lately one of it known as Altair.
The second meeting of Wozniak with Jobs took place when both young men initiated to write an intriguing “blue box” idea on newspaper. The article was about an idea to build small circuits where free phone calls could be made through dialing telephone switchboards. This fashionable invention was turned to a business by Wozniak and Jobs by selling the circuit to the companies. The partnership of these two young handymen continued to learning John Draper aka Capt’n Crunch which is later known as an important nucleus for Apple Computer.
As a matter of fact, Steve Jobs was much similar to Wozniak’s background. Jobs was born in San Francisco on February 24, 1955, five years younger than Wozniak. Jobs grew up under adoption that later moved to Silicon Valley due to a change of family livelihood. Just like Wozniak, Jobs attended many schools during his teen ages. In 1968, het met one of Wozniak’s friends namely Bill Fernandez from whom he got to know “Woz”, Wozniak’s young nickname. Both Jobs and Wozniak joined with Hewlett-Packard starting in summer.
Jobs was in fact really interested in electronics and computer when he worked at the very beginning for Hewlett-Packard as a staff of production and measurement instruments. He began to admire the brilliant work of Wozniak when creating the Cream Soda mini computer. Having the similar interest in making jokes, Wozniak’s strong appeal in electronic and computer eventually inspired Jobs to learn in depth about these two subjects. Job’s moving to India in 1974 during couple of months did not inhibit his new interest in computer and electronic. Soon after his coming back to Silicon Valley, Jobs starts working for Atari as a staff for the division of video games development where his curiosity in computer began to flourish.

STEVE JOBS and APPLE
Lisa Markkula MacIntosh and Scott are the new generation after Apple II launched in 1983. Apple Lisa was launched in response to low sales and less market appreciation towards Apple II performance. While Jobs decided to look for a new project after the failure of Apple II, Wozniak kept working on the circuits to get a stand in market foothold.
Besides Apple Lisa, Apple III was another Jobs’ one-step idea to pay for the letdown of Apple II. Apple III was designed to have larger memory, higher graphic resolution, enhanced representation of technology, as well as to completely fulfill the shortage of Apple II performance. Yet, Apple III was another dud due to being so expensive to release to market at that time. Defective manufacturing process of Apple III was another factor of this second failure additionally.
Further work from Jobs on Apple advancement was involving Motorola to experiment its 68000 processor and high graphic interface resolutions. Graphic-based interface used lots of memory to supply the operation of office software. The 6809-processor was later produced by Jobs following the 68000 with a bit lower graphic resolutions as further experiment. Jobs’ fervent manners triggered worry of Lisa Group management and make them stare at other employees instead. As a result of numerous complaints from the board of Lisa Group Management, Jobs was toppled from his position eventually.
Jobs decided to join with Macintosh soon after his previous annoyance at Lisa Group. Through Macintosh, Jobs strived to make the 6809-ptototypes perfectly accomplished. However, Jobs wanted to create a low-cost version of Lisa with the same graphic-based interface resolutions. Amid the opposition from other engineers, Jobs kept working on shifting the previous high-memory-use 68000 processor to be the 6809 version. He was finally successful to create the low-cost version of Lisa 68000 processor.
Entering in 1979, Xerox invested in Apple manufacturing. Apple could take a stare at the development of Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, call it PARC. Xerox’s interest was in the striking performance of Apple due to the art of using graphical interface with a mouse and small picture display, one of the most important functions and programs without pressing any keyboard keys. The collaboration of Xerox and Apple eventually released the maiden design of Xerox Star computer. The technology of graphical interface use and Xerox advancement finally convinced Jobs to believe that that would the future model of personal computer.
Being gone to stock exchange, Apple shares worth of up to 4.2 million dollar have been distributed. On December 12, 1980, Apple recouped the price of stock exchange and thereby made shareholders, who were mostly employees, millionaires abruptly in. However, after this excitement was preceded by the nightmare of Apple during the first months of 1980s, as Wozniak got an airplane accident and suffered from temporal memory loss. At that time, there were 2000 employees working for Apple Inc which was considered overloaded. The first dismissal of Apple hit 42 redundant employees which subsequently triggered the discouragement of some leading engineers. As a result of this layoff, software engineer team split and left Apple Inc.
Internal ‘uproar’ of Apple Inc. was regarded a good chance for Jobs to dispose of his remaining opponents in the company. His move worked smoothly though at the cost of dismissing the previous Apple’s first president, Michael Scott under the mercy of the commissioner chairman. Mike Markkula, the first funding investor for Apple, finally took the position of presidency by himself during a few months until John Sculley, former Vice President of Pepsi came to preside with Apple on April 8, 1983.
The launching of Lisa to market was conducted in 1982. Too expensive price over 10,000 US dollars was firmly less unaffordable for individual users at that period. It was really sensational move of Lisa which finally resulted in a deep failure. The Macintosh computers were supposed to release in 1983, but finally postponed one year later in 1984. Under the skilled-marketing leadership of Sculley, Macintosh received broad appreciation from market sparking enthusiasm to Apple Inc. At the end of 1983, the company’s income was derived from Apple II sales however.
The emerging crisis attacked PC business world in 1985 which brought Apple to suffer fro bitter consequence of loss. Numerous complaints over the development project of Macintosh by Steve Jobs appeared following the drastic decline of Apple sales. Soon afterwards, Jobs was dismissed from his position annoyingly where he ended his career with Apple Inc.
Steve Jobs did not immediately retire from computer business world soon after his retreat from Apple Inc. He invested his assets into a new business company that he founded namely NeXT. The company focused on the higher education business market. His obsession was to create one-step-forward evolution that was expected to perform better than custom personal computer does. According to Jobs, the laser printer was less significant for the next evolution of Apple technology.
While Jobs began to focus on his own company, Apple Inc. changed principally following his retreat. Apple’s CEO, Sculley, halted some production sites following the dismissal of Ste Jobs from the company while rationalizing the expenditure to a very strict limit of spending. Around 3000 employees became the victims of closing production sites policy and therefore stimulated the media to believe in the death of Apple Inc. Wozniak remained the only one who Apple Inc with million dollar investment relied on to upgrade the market of Macintosh for desktop publishing technology, known as DPT-the creation of artwork and designs on the screen of personal computer. Aside from Jobs critic on Laser Printer which was considered unimportant, the emerging Desktop Technology Publishing system went far beyond ahead in market.
Entering in 1997, NeXT Company founded by Steve Jobs, was bought by Apple Inc which subsequently brought him back to Apple. Since then, Jobs began to lead Apple Inc, a company that he co-founded together with Wozniak, up until today. Owing to his great adventure starting in 1960s, he was finally listed as well by Fortune Magazine as the Most Powerful Businessman of 2007.
Today, we find that Apple plays significant role supplying millions of users worldwide. The Macintosh series further developed to the entire PC products, notebooks, until the release of 68040- workstation processor. Apple has recently produced the multimedia which attracts buyers and brings huge profit to the company. Typical graphic, audio card, and CD-ROMs are the primary distinctive feature that belong to Apple for years exceeding other counterparts in the same business.

Apple I to Apple II
The success of creating the Cream Soda Computer namely the Apple I suggested Wozniak to make this invention to be the best prototype. Though engineering job at Hewlett-Packard offered good money, Wozniak wasn’t satisfied with only one hundred dollar price for a single 8008, 8080, or 6800 processor. He wanted to invest his own computer with a better price to sell. Yet, his ambition changed when finding the Altair 8080 and MOS-Tech 6502 was sold at the price of US$25 at the Wescon’75 computer exhibition in January 1975.
Wozniak decided to meet some HP engineers at the fair while bringing his invented circuit. At the time when the Homebrew Computer Club was founded, Wozniak began to share his experience with the circuit technology that was the primary topic of meeting. Since then, Wozniak regularly presented his up to date improvement in 6502-micro computer to the Homebrew Computer Club. Steve Jobs, Wozniak’s mate, sometimes accompanied him to attend the regular meeting among the club members. However, Jobs was mostly busy with the design and technical data for Wozniak’s computer whereby he assumed that this technology would be the start of the future. Having such diligent basic interpreter for the technical data of his computer, Wozniak created the keyboard of the computer which is able to connect to a TV.
Basically, Wozniak’s idea was to produce Printouts SCM and sell the software to market, but Jobs suggested having the blanks distributed instead virtually. Jobs also got to know Terrel Paul, the owner of Byte Shop, at the regular meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club. Eventually, Jobs declared to be ready for producing 50 computers under the order that will be paid completely upon the delivery. Wozniak was not exactly interested in the idea of Jobs at that time. Considering the prospect of US$500 for computer price, Wozniak finally supported Jobs to get the order done.
The Apple Company was co-founded by Wozniak and Jobs subsequently on April 11, 1976 with the only 1300 US dollar as the initial capital. The name was chosen by Steve Jobs reasoning that Apple is something simple and memorable. The second reason of Jobs was that all people always dream of being simple and memorable like apple.
Owing to the cost of single electronic board was 250 US dollars, these co-founders needed extra budget around 13,000 dollar. Here is when Jobs showed his talent in negotiation. Jobs proposed to have the components parts from a wholesaler with a payable of 30 days after the purchase. Thus, the journey of two partners took a show with the help of some acquaintances to assemble the printed circuit boards. Though Paul Terre finally paid upon the delivery of these assembled circuit boards instead of computer keyboard and inclusive box, this was the first major win of Apple.
Entering the end of 1976, Apple could sell around 150 computers which worth of up to 75,000 US dollars. Some friends were subsequently employed to help manufacture the computer and thereby enhanced the Basic of Wozniak. Soon after the completion of typing the interface, Jobs himself regularly delivered the latest version of Apple’s Basic model, known as Apple I, to many shops around the city. The amount of Apple I production reached 220 units during the end of the year.
In fact, during the mid of 19676, the new generation of Apple II technology has been prepared while selling Apple’s Basic versions to market. Wozniak’s ideas was to make Apple II represent the enhanced version of Apple I as well to offer everything possible to the users. Wozniak was unsatisfied with the performance of Apple Basic with the price of US$500 to users and therefore he would like to develop the utilities and functions of computer. Apple’s Basic model was finally used as the Basic ROM for the new generation of Apple computer. Slots expansion such as Altair was later universally expanded by the technology of computer in general.
In 1976, Wozniak and Jobs flew to Atlantic City to attend the Autumn Computer Festival while bringing the prototype of the new generation of Apple II personal computer. There were many representative officers from leading players in computer markets such IMSAI and many more. Most of companies attending the Computer Festival had been having high-class track-record in market, while Apple was still really new in the business.
Bright idea of Jobs came out along his days with Wozniak in Atlantic Computer Festival to learn what those leading manufacturers offered to market. Jobs and Wozniak had to realize that Apple II in a few ways had been presented to market, including its keyboard, power supply, and graphic interfaces. Yet, both co-founders of Apple had got a lot of ideas after attending the computer festival. They tried to find financial support from the development of a compact, so turnkey computer system could be covered.
Chuck Peddle, an officer of a young company namely Commodore, also attended this Atlantic City fair. His company, Commodore, which produced the 6502, had just got MOS-Tech and thereby decided to buy. Buying MOS-Tech, Commodore would like to join the competition on the planning step of PET Information. Knowing this opportunity, Jobs offered Commodore to buy Apple small company with the shares of 100,000 US dollars for the buyer and 36,000 for each of Apple founders. Jobs’ offer was considered ridiculous by Jack Tramiel, founder and Chief Executive Office of Commodore at that time while saying that the so-called garage company, Apple, would never have any competitive edge in the computer business. The other two companies also rejected Apple acquisition following the failure of Jobs to bid the good price from Commodore in return to Apple ‘garage’ company.
It came to the turn of Wozniak to offer his employer, Hewlett-Packard, to finance the production of Apple II. The Management of Hewlett-Packard seemed to be reluctant and less interested while showing lots of reasons to object Wozniak’s offer. According to Nolan Bushnell from Atari, Apple II could not be a prototype of personal computer once it’s released to market. Yet, Jobs tried to change his superior’s mind while convincing that Apple II would be the subject of upgrade and development. What jobs tried to do was finally fruitful and got the support from two principal men in Hewlett-Pakcard.
First, Jobs tried to negotiate hard with Regis McKenna, the designer of microprocessor advertising company. Eventually, McKenna accepted the offer from Jobs and began to design the current Apple logo with the bite of an apple. Apple I was still in the old form of its logo, Newton under an apple tree. It was out of common mind that McKenna released Apple’s maiden advertisement on Playboy magazine. The idea of McKenna was successful to make Apple become the public talks and hot concerns.
Yet, the financial problem which Apple is suffering from has not been resolved. Finally, Jobs decided to meet with Mike Markkula, an investor who held millions at Intel and withdrew his investment. After a series of negotiation, Markkula agreed to buy Apple Company while promising to invest his private assets. Additional loan from banks were also concerned by Markkula in order to develop the small ‘garage’ company to be classy in the computer business. As a result, Wozniak and Jobs are abandoned from their current position at Hewlett-Packard.
From the very beginning, Apple employees agreed to have better management to make is much enhanced. It came subsequently to Markkula’s decision to appoint Mike Scott as a manager of Apple. This decision was not really pleasing Steve Jobs and thereby the two principal men of Apple could not work hand in hand during a long course of time. Such continuous personal dispute eventually led to the Scott’s decision to leave the company.
Wozniak himself and other engineers focused on the making and the ground breaking development of Apple II, including a switching power supply with a small enclosure without any fans needed. The drafts of computer casing, call it housing draft came afterward and reveals new innovation of its forms with an original model and style. The housing draft was considered revolutionary and purely original from the famous typewriter, Steve Jobs.
Entering in 1977, Apple II prototype was introduced to the West Coast Computer Faire in spring, the largest trade fair ever at that time. The new innovation of few manufactured-plastic of the housing computer carved individual interest of attendants to buy Apple II. During the West Cost Fair, there were 300 computer orders from the buyers and thereby Apple had to provide the unique service to them to reduce the switching from Apple I on the Apple II.
Until the end of 1977, the sales of Apple II reached 4000 units. This was not yet considered as the breakthrough. Welcoming the Christmas in 1977, Wozniak made further move by creating a floppy disk controller for Apple II, which allowed the connection of floppy drive. The next Consumer Electronics Show was turning to be the good fortune of Apple to bring an influence to the development of famous program of floppy drives. Visicalc as the first spreadsheet and Apple Writer as word processing still remain up until today. The Visicalc itself was known as a result of handymen’s hobby that finally became the first time production for all personal computers. At the beginning of 1978, Apple Company held the property worth 3 million US dollars with the sales rate in the next year reaching 35,000 computers.

Basic of Ethernet Network
The term of Ethernet is originated from the company of DEC, Xerox, and Intel-developed protocol for Local Area Networks. In the IEEE 802.3 standard has been set up available. Basically, Ethernet cabling consists of a bus system. Terminals in this case are connected to a common strand cable while a fully-employed cable consists of a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable has got a number of T-pieces to connect to the devices at the level of a 50 Watt Endresistor per each wiring end. The function of coaxial cable is to reduce the signals and thereby the cable does not stimulate any reflections to rise.
“Thick Ethernet” which is also known as Yellow Cable has been altered by the newer version called as “Thin Ethernet”. This new version, users name it as “Cheapernet cable”, “RG58”, or “10Base2”. Today, such cabling system is considered as the best option that can connect several computers and any other devices in the single network. This invention carries out easier work of multi-computers to perform altogether autonomously while being able to access each other as well.
The standard speed of Ethernet operation is 10 Mbps. The fast version of Ethernet could perform up to 100Mbit/ second. The use of access method is known as CSMA/ CD. Every single Personal Computer (PC) has to have one NIC with a BNC connector. T-pieces should be in this connection. The cable networking will work to continue to the destined direction. Sufficient cables are also required to enable the standard operation of Ethernet, in this case no exceeding cables needed. For example, the segment length of Ethernet or network line is about 185 meters which may need more less than 30 stations. The minimum distance of two stations is to be greater than 0.5 meter each. Practically, a network must be drawn up a sketch while considering the cabling premises. In common, there should be no cable laid across the room due to security need. Cable channels on the walls along would be possible to have. The design of network planning should take everything into account in accordance to the important structure of networking. Owing to network is relatively high cost, additional stations should be connected.
One of the important issues related to Ethernet is about software that helps deploy the network. Software deployment is related to whether it s a peer-to-peer with a numerous subscribers, standard, or may be fast model of Ethernet. The length of segments is necessary even from separate network for the reason of security. Computers and other devices such Printer can be used altogether as they are connected to the network through wiring cables. Deciding properly whether short or loose circuits is important since it would be difficult to handle when financial budget is limited and cannot compromise extra spending. Good plan of network building will help solve such unexpected spending of cash to cover particular devices demanded of a mistake in the early prediction.
After laying the cables on the safe place channel, we can begin to connect to the terminal. T-pieces normally are connected to the bus. Somehow, several T-pieces are sometimes connected to some particular TAE cables for providing the specific amount of cable channel used. In this case, terminals are mostly a server itself with extra functions like printing from the subscriber’s data in the network.
Soon after the software is installed to the server computer, we need to set up the whole networking computers as well to make sure that each unit can access the main server. Normally, this will need several tests whereby individual should know whether there is a conflict in the network or not when trying to access the server. It is the go of network administrator to assure that every unit of computer is running well as expected. Further problems of the networks building and advancement also can be consulted to the manufacturing companies from which users can get detailed explanation about particular brand used. Owing to the fact that network is various in types and models, a particular restriction apply for certain forms of them to expand further. The restriction normally applies in the using of switch, extending the segment of amplifier, installation of more gateways, up to the connection between different local networks using a bridge.
