Yes, Apple is correct, it was a bunch of guys that used to do phone-hacking, but that stopped entertaining them. So Steve Jobs was the leader of a group that started developing machines that processed commands with specific outcomes(per The History Channel). Thus, the Apple computer was made! We all should thank Steve Jobs for his pioneering in computer processing technology. :clap: :givebeer:

I went to a talk by Steve Wozniak at the Computer History Museum at Moffett Field a couple of years ago, and where he spoke about the history of Apple up to the Apple II.

Jobs and him started talking to each other when they found that they were both obsessed with Ron Rosenbaum's Esquire Magazine article on original Phone Phreaks - Secrets of the Little Blue Box online here at:
