If you've ever wondered how Apple went from two guys in a garage to a multi-billion dollar company, the first steps are now on display at the Computer History Museum. The IPO was donated by Mike Markkula, Apple's first investor, who at one time was president of the company (and owned 1/3 of Apple).  The 30-page business plan was donated by Dan Kottke, Apple’s first employee.  He  built and tested the Apple I computer that Wozniak and Jobs had conceived in Jobs garage in 1976.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

 What was VLC? Was it a system by Apple or a competitor? How do I not know this?

I like that they listed one of the benefits of home computers as "complete security of personal information." Hindsight sure is 20/20.
