Appearances
In the conference room, Wozniak showed them the Apple One.
The response was corporate and immediate.
What if it doesn't work on every TV?
How could HP ensure the quality if they couldn't control
control which TV customers owned.
Besides, the division didn't have the budget for new projects.
They turned it down.
New ideas are so fragile, they need to be nurtured and not torn apart like this.
I was disappointed, Wozniak said, but now I was free to enter the Apple partnership.
A few weeks later, Wozniak showed the finished circuit board to other HP engineers.
Then his phone rang.
It was Jobs.
Are you sitting down?
No.
Well, guess what?
I've got a $50,000 order.
Paul Terrell from Byteshop wanted 100 computers fully built for $500 each.
