Steve Jobs used to work at an Apple Orchard one summer.  As he and co-founder, Steve Wozniak, tried to come up with a name for the company under an apple tree, they agreed that if they couldn't come up with the name by sunset, they'd name it Apple!

I just think it's funny that a man with the name Jobs, is part of an industry that has eliminated so many.

The story I heard is while Steve Jobs and Wozniyack (sp) was working on their first computer in a garage as students at San Jose State in San Jose CA, one of them took a bit of an apply and placed it on their work bench as they were deciding the name of their new company.. I don't know if this is true, maybe folklore, maybe not.. I don't like apple puters anyway so it doesn't matter to me.. LOL

Misdirection - you're not likely to forget it now, are you?

In 1993 I was hired to write and put together a newletter. It was in DOS (or something) I thought I'd lost my mind!

Did Jobs bring computers to the common man/woman? Was Apple the first one that "normal" people could learn?

I started in 1993 and still feel like a total beginner on my Apple. They keep changing it ,and I keep getting older and it gets more difficult for me to learn.
