History of Computers: On April 1st, 1976 Steven P. Jobs and Stephen G. Wozniak founded Apple in Palo Alto/California. In their famous garage they developed and produced the Apple I, the first PC circuit board. It had 8KB RAM and an interface for a monitor.

On April '76 the first circuit boards were available at the Byte Shops. The slogan of the advertisement was "Byte into an Apple". The idea for the logo was born. In 1977 the first real PC the Apple II was developed and sold. This computer could be directly connected to a TV.  One year later (1978) Apple left the garage and moved to Cupertino/California.  A direct competitor to the Apple II, the first IBM PC, which was sold first in 1981, was built.  In 1983 a computer - LISA - with a strange input device appeared. Many people were sceptic about this new device. Its name was "mouse".  In 1984 the first Macintosh was built. This computer had a graphical user interface, a sound system and a high resolution black and white monitor.  In 1994 the first PowerPC was presented.
