<P> On March 5 , 1975 , Steve Wozniak attended the first meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club in Gordon French 's garage . He was so inspired that he immediately set to work on what would become the Apple I computer . After building it for himself and showing it at the Club , he and Steve Jobs gave out schematics ( technical designs ) for the computer to interested club members and even helped some of them build and test out copies . Then , Steve Jobs suggested that they design and sell a single etched and silkscreened circuit board -- just the bare board , no electronic parts -- that people could use to build the computers . Wozniak calculated that having the board design laid out would cost $1,000 and manufacturing would cost another $20 per board ; he hoped to recoup his costs if 50 people bought the boards for $40 each . To fund this small venture , their first company , Jobs sold his van and Wozniak sold his HP - 65 calculator . Very soon after , Steve Jobs arranged to sell `` something like 50 '' completely built computers to the Byte Shop ( a computer store in Mountain View , California ) at $500 each . To fulfill the $25,000 order , they obtained $20,000 in parts at 30 days net and delivered the finished product in 10 days . </P>
