After developing the circuit board that would become the heart of the Apple I, Steve Wozniak offered it to Hewlett-Packard, who turned it down saying that it wasnt a salable product. To generate the $1,350 in capital they used to start Apple, Steve Jobs sold his Volkswagen microbus, and Steve Wozniak sold his Hewlett-Packard calculator. In 1976, Steve Jobs was working in a community type farm in Oregon and that inspired him to name the company Apple Computers.
