"\r\n\r\nI always hate when designers talk about how Steve Jobs is so amazing and how he\u2019d never settle for anything but the best, blah blah blah. Yes, that\u2019s true, but they\u2019ve been a public company since 1980, they\u2019ve had billions of dollars and 1000s of amazingly talented people on their team.\r\n\r\nBefore the IPO, at the very beginning when it was just the founders, their first product was the following:\r\n&amp;quot;The Apple I, Apple\u2019s first product, was sold as an assembled circuit board and lacked basic features such as a keyboard, monitor, and case. The owner of this unit added a keyboard and a wooden case.&amp;quot;\r\nIt was a motherboard. Not even a computer - just a motherboard.\r\n\r\nI think it\u2019s important to remember when we\u2019re all trying to start something from scratch that you have to start at zero, and the first product will probably suck. It\u2019ll be a motherboard, when what you really wanted to build was an all-aluminum Macbook Air with a Retina display.\r\n\r\nBut you gotta start somewhere.\r\n\r\nThis post originally appeared on Andrew Chen's personal blog.\r\nImage Credit / BNPS\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
