Founding Apple

Both Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were college dropouts that founded apple computers on April 1, 1976. Jobs and Wozniak had a common vision in wanting people to be able to own small enough computers to have in their homes or in their offices, as well as, the computers being user friendly. However, because of withdrawing interest, Wozniak left apple in 1983. Apple was still doing well during the 1980s, and had its highest profits in the 90s .  But after this peak, by 1996 it was believed that the company has reached its doom with the growing competition and similarity with Bill Gates’ computer operating system. Jobs had found a way to improve his own company with the creation of iBook, iPod, and iTunes.
