Building an Apple-1 From Scratch — Just Like Woz

Posted by Soulskill on from the is-that-the-one-the-president-flies-on dept.

Lucas123 writes "This year at KansasFest, computer fans from around the world gathered to celebrate the Apple II — the computer that put Apple on the map. But the Apple-1 (a.k.a. the Apple I), the machine Steve Wozniak invented and first demonstrated at the Palo Alto Homebrew Computer Club in 1976, has always been near to my heart. In attendance at KansasFest was Vince Briel, who created an authorized reproduction the Apple-1 and showed others how to build their own. 'As a regular KansasFest attendee (and the conference's marketing director), I was one of his students. Follow along as I assemble a fully functional Apple-1 clone.'"

    To get the true Woz experience have your best friend steal thousands from you and then lie to you about it.

      Admittedly, Steve Jobs isn't my best friend, but I've certainly experienced him stealing several thousands of dollars from me and then lying to me about it.
