Wozniak: Apple's famed garage start is only a myth
If you cherish the idea of Apple being created in a meager garage in suburbia California, then this is not the post for you. Speaking with Bloomberg's Brandon Lisy, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak put a pin in that story when he told Lisy that the garage is nothing but a myth and was not significant to the making of the first Apple computer.
The garage is a bit of a myth. We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there. The garage didn't serve much purpose, except it was something for us to feel was our home. We had no money. You have to work out of your home when you have no money.
According to Woz, the bulk of the work on the first Apple computer actually was done in his cubicle at Hewlett Packard.
The work was being done-soldering things together, putting the chips together, designing them, drawing them on drafting tables-at my cubicle at Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) in Cupertino [Calif.].
