I was a grad student at UC Berkeley when I bought my Apple II and it suddenly because a lot more interesting than school. ↗

In fact when I first got my Apple II the first thing I did was turn it on and off, on and off, just because I had the power to do so, which I'd never had on a computer before. ↗

The Apple II was not designed like an ordinary product. It used crazy tricks everywhere. ↗

After the Apple II was introduced, then came the Commodore and the Tandy TRS-80. ↗

I did some products for the Apple II, most notably the first small low cost thermal printer, the Silent Type. ↗

I knew the Apple II was great when I bought it, but as I dug into the details it just completely blew me away the creative artistic approach that the designers had taken. ↗

I started working at Apple about 18 months after I bought my Apple II. ↗

Steve Jobs didn't really set the direction of my Apple I and Apple II designs but he did the more important part of turning them into a product that would change the world. I don't deny that. ↗

I started on an Apple II, which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4,500 a year, and I spent half of it on the computer. ↗

There is no doubt that, since 1977 and the launch of Apple II - the first computer it produced for the mass market - many things which used to be done on paper, or on the telephone, have been done easier and faster on a screen. ↗
