Their legal department contacted every division in the company.
It took two weeks.
Still no interest.
They even sent Wozniak a formal letter releasing all claims to his design.

When they finally built a personal computer in 1979, it went nowhere.
The bite shop order changed everything.
Jobs negotiated cash on delivery.
They borrowed money from Allen's father for parts.
In January 1976, they set up shop in Steve Jobs' parents' garage, hiring friends to plug in chips into sockets for a dollar a board.

Wozniak started designing the Apple II as soon as the Apple I was complete.
