Immediate Source of Acquisition Gift of Mike Markkula, 2007. Biographical/Historical Note Armas Clifford (Mike) Markkula, Jr. was born February 11, 1942 in Los Angeles, California. Markkula attended Glendale Junior College for two years before transferring to the University of Southern California where he earned his bachelor’s (1964) and master’s degrees (1966) in electrical engineering. While an undergraduate student Markkula began working at Hughes Aircraft Company in the Research and Development Laboratory. He continued with Hughes until graduation, when he accepted a position with Fairchild Semiconductor as a product marketing manager. After approximately four years Markkula left Fairchild to join Intel as a marketing director. In 1974 at the age of 32 Markkula retired on the basis of stock options. In 1977 Markkula was introduced to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak through Don Valentine. Markkula was so impressed by the computer that Steve Wozniak had designed and built that he offered to help write a business plan. Shortly thereafter Markkula invested in Apple and began working for the company, bringing business experience and connections in the venture capital industry to the company. As the third employee, he not only helped to manage the company, but he also mentored the young founders during Apple’s early period of extreme growth. In addition, Markkula wrote some of the early software programs for the Apple II under the pseudonym Johnny Appleseed. Markkula was Apple’s second CEO from 1981 to 1983, and served as chairman from 1985 to 1997, when he again retired. In 1986 Markkula provided the initial funding for what is now known as the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Since his retirement from Apple Markkula has continued to act as an angel investor in a range of companies, including Echelon Corporation. Scope and Content of the Collection The Mike Markkula collection of early Apple Computer material consists of Apple and non-Apple materials from 1977 through 1998, including a copy of the Apple marketing philosophy Markkula authored, marketing materials from the early years of the company such as annual report and stock options, and public relations materials including articles published between 1979 and 1983 featuring profiles or information on Markkula, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, John Scully, Apple Inc. and their products.

If a better alternative does turn up, it could be made available within a few months of introduction, either as a standard keyboard or as an option. Although the keyboard layout is nearly final, it has not frozen since it is not yet on the critical path. One remaining potential variation is the possible removal of the cursor cluster from the layout. 2. Engineering is concerned that the current cost objectives may not be feasible. 3. Although there is no requirement to have the Problem Analysis Guide (PAG) stowed within LISA, Engineering will continue to pursue methods by which the PAG may be attached to the main unit.

Tekalike (Mesa Graphics) isthe earliest graphics terminal emulator we used on the Macintosh. It emulates the Tektronix 4010, 4012, 4014 and 4016 graphics terminals (a later version we have not yet tested adds VT -100 and VT -640). It also provides the ability to pan and zoom on areas selected by the mouse and to save plots for MacPaint on MacDraw for full 300 dots -per -inch LaserWriter resolution. It was this program that first enabled us to consider the Macintosh as a replacement for graphics terminals. The Macintosh could not only view plots at its 512X342 resolution, but thanks to the pan and zoom, could view parts of plots at full 4014 (4096X3072) resolution, a feature then available only on much more expensive graphics terminals (some other personal computers now have programs for Tektronix 4010/4014 emulation, but the best known to me Start of waveform, magnified at this time zooms in 4X and only provides 1024X768 resolution at zoom; 4010, not 4014 resolution).

    7 products Steve Jobs got wrong 6 October 2011, By PETER SVENSSON , AP Technology Writer 4. Puck Mouse (1998) - The new iMac was the first major product created after Jobs' return to Apple in 1996, and it was a big success, despite its tiny, round mouse. Users couldn't tell which way it was oriented by feel, and it tended to disappear in the cup of the hand, making it hard to use. 5. The Cube (2000) - This small desktop computer was beautifully encased in a cube of clear plastic. It won design awards but was a flop in stores because of its high price. Also, it didn't really offer any functional benefits over other Macs.

  • C:Macintosh Update
    - .. C: Macintosh Update Macintosh has changed a little since the enclosed manuals were printed. This manual update lets you know about improvements to the Finder and MacWrite. It also describes a new Font and Desk Accessory Mover and the Choose Printer desk accessory that are now included on the System Disk. You can put this update aside for now; you don't really need to know about the changes it describes until you've been working with Macintosh for a while. Most of the changes just give you more speed and power in using your Macintosh. • See Macintosh, your owner's guide, to find out how Macintosh works in general. • See the MacPaint and MacWrite manuals to find out how those applications work. • You can also take a guided tour or two, to let the Macintosh demonstrate itself. Updating Other Disks Each enclosed disk includes the new Finder and other system changes; other applications you purchase may not You might want to update each of your startup disks with the new Finder and other system changes. To update applications such as MacProject, MacDraw, or MacTerminal, replace their System Folders by copying the System Folder from the enclosed System Disk. See "Copying a Document, Folder, or Application to a Different Disk" in Macintosh, the owner's guide. Here are a few guid��ines about updating other disks: . • Before you replace a disk's System Folder, make a backup copy of the disk. See "Copying an Entire Disk" in Macintosh, the owner's guide. • Start up your Macintosh using one of the enclosed disks rather than thedisk whose System Folder you want to replace; you can't replace the System Folder of the current startup disk.

  • The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace
    The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges in the International Marketplace Alberto Garcia Marrero Florida International University The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace ABSTRACT Apple Inc. is one of the world’s leading multinational enterprises as measured by revenue, profits, assets, and brand equity. Its ascent has been rapid but not linear; it has experienced setbacks along the way. This paper will analyze Apple’s evolution over the past decade and future prospects, with an eye toward identifying opportunities and challenges for global expansion. 2 The Rise of Apple Inc: Opportunities and Challenges Garcia Marrero in the International Marketplace BACKGROUND In 1976, Apple Inc. began as a garage operation by three men: Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne (Ellen Terrell, 2008). The entire company was based solely on the engineering genius of Wozniak and the entrepreneurial and innovative genius of Jobs. Wayne sold out his shares of Apple to Jobs and Wozniak. Only weeks after its founding, Jobs and Wozniak were the sole owners of the company when it was fully incorporated in 1977 (Terrell, 2008). The company was based on the design, manufacturing, and selling of a new kind of operating computer designed by Wozniak, revolutionizing the world of the personal computer. Apple I was soon superseded by its successor the Apple II, which became the platform for VisiCalc, the first ever spreadsheet program (Terrell, 2008). Apple saw growth like no other during its first ten years of life as sales, but overall revenue saw an exponential growth every four months.
