umn of 1974, Jobs returned to California and began attending meetings of Wozniak's "Homebrew Computer Club." Wozniak, like most of the club's members, was content with the joy of electronics creation. Jobs was not interested in creating electronics and was nowhere near as good an engineer as Woz. He had his eye on marketability of electronics products and persuaded Wozniak to work with him toward building a personal computer.
             Known as the "Wizard of Woz", Steve Wozniak always wanted to be an engineer. All of his life he has been in love with mathematics and computers. "My father was an engineer and he helped to guide me into science fair projects that were electronics, so my love grew," commented Wozniak about his beginnings. In the mid 1970's Wozniak decided to drop out of the University of California at Berkeley, where he was majoring in engineering, and start working for Hewlett-Packard. During this time he started to work with John Draper on the illegal "blue-box".
             Wozniak, while still at HP became the resident genius of a group of young computer zealots in Palo Alto California calling itself the HomeBrew Computer Club. Ultimately working at Hewlett-Packard paid off, because HP calculators, which Woz worked with in his time there, had a significant influence on the Apple. "All the small HP calculators, the HP 35, 45, 55, 65, and 67 influenced the Apple II. They did it in the sense that each key had a worthwhile function meaningful to humans. Each key merely activated its own program. A calculator was complete. It didn't need accessories and peripherals and programs just to have a keyboard you could use."
             The idea for the Apple computer came about after Wozniak realized current computers could be improved. Wozniak and Jobs designed what was to be the Apple I in Jobs' bedroom, and they built the prototype in Jobs' garage. Jobs showed the machine...
