"Jobs & Wozniak sold their VW bus & HP calculator, respectively, to finance the Apple I. Jobs got the parts on credit and they sold the kits so fast they didn't need any other capital. The only principal designer of the Apple II was Wozniak, who did everything but the switching power supply. They really weren't coming to the HCC anymore in 1977-78, since they were busy around the clock preparing for the first West Coast Computer Faire in March, 1977," 1. Allen Baum and his father, Elmer, lent them $5K. A bit more than either an old VW bus or HP calculator brought them. 2. Allen's name is on the mother board of the Apple II. 3. As for them not being the HB around the time I said I saw them, I saw them, so I know what I saw. --Tim May
