In 1976, a computer hobbyist from Menlo Park, California decided to finally take on a project he had been holding off: to build his dream computer.
After facing rejections from his job at Hewlett-Packard, Steve Wozniak took his new machine to the Homebrew Computer Club and was met with much praise. One attendee, his old friend Steve Jobs, was so enamored by it, he convinced Wozniak to team up with him as business partners in hopes to sell it. Their company would be called Apple, and this machine, the Apple 1, would be their very first computer. They had no idea that they were about to change history forever.
Although only 200 were produced and only around 20 are confirmed to now exist in working condition, the Apple 1's place in history cannot be understated. It's simple, yet direct approach to computing would be the steppingstone in starting a new wave in the Information Age.

Cool :3
I like your beard 👍
Overrated sponsor tbh in my opinion I hear about raid shadow legends to much tbh
Raid is still a thing??? Why?
You’re slowly turning into 80s Paul McCartney and it’s awesome.
Get back paul mccartney
I was gonna say George Harrison
Now, you need a Temporary Secretary
Give his regards to broadstreet
@@RQBtv About to start a band called The Nationsquid.
I remember taking a circuitry class in high school. About half of the class was learning the math of putting together circuits, then the other half was building them.
I remember when we did an entire exam where we had to simplify circuits down to the most efficient design possible. It was not easy.
Then, our teacher showed us schematics of the Apple I main board. It was astonishing.
You can respect Steve Wozniak as a genius, but you don't truly understand why and how until you see something like that. Dude's one of the best IC designers of all time.
It's a neverending shame that Wozniak's sheer talent will seemingly never become as widely recognized as the genius he is because of how much of an enigmatic-charlatan that Steve Jobs is.
Massive props to you, NationSquid, for creating probably the first ever ad read for Raid: Shadow Legends that both transitioned seamlessly from the main content of the video, wasn’t 5 minutes long, AND was actually compelling to watch! Truly one of the best to ever do it.
It took me a bit to even REALIZE it was a sponsored segment! I’d even argue it’s one of the best ads I’ve ever seen in a TH-cam video!
@@TheRogueMaverick SAME LOL I was trying to figure out how the heck it fit into the video before I realized it was an ad.
RIGHT!! I JUST SAW IT
Nation is suspiciously happy... were you evading taxes again?
Definitely seems like it lol
08:11 For perspective, this was about the price of a whole suburban house.
I appreciate that you make content specifically catered to my exact interests.
I don't think you could emphasize enough just how different the 70's hobbyist computer scene was back then. Even if you had all the money you needed to buy the components you needed to build your computer, it didn't necessarily mean you could get all the components. I remember watching a really great video where someone put together a DIY television terminal from a magazine a while back, but I can't remember the name and it's absolutely killing me. It went into detail about how difficult just getting components like a keyboard could be, as manufacturers wouldn't really even sell to you because they only made components for business machines and would thus only be interested in selling to businesses. Often you'd have to salvage a keyboard from a decommissioned machine that a business threw out. If I can remember the name of the video, I'll make sure to add it to this comment.
Edit: I think I found the video, it's called 'The "Typewriter" That Changed The World" by Tech Time Traveller. Definitely go check it out to learn what it was like to be a computer hobbyist in the early 70's!
You put more effort into that ad then that game deserves.

I want to see the timeline where Jobs never convinced Wozniak to sell Apple 1s and it got released as an open source schematic.
It was. The schematics were freely passed around the club Woz and Jobs attended.
Steve Jobs released a Mexican version called the Apple Juan.
Esteban Trabajos*
Esteban Trabajos y su "Manzana Juan"
Ayyyy 🤣
Ba dum tss
One could say it was the Juan that got away? 😂 I'll see myself out now. 😬
Imagine starting one of the biggest companies of today in your stinky garage with your friend who probably gets straight Fs in school :D
Are you familiar with Jobs' time at Atari? Straight F's is putting it lightly. Atari hired a virtually useless employee just because they knew he'd bug Wozniak to do everything for him in his spare time.
Old tech is so cool
I normally skip mobile game sponsor segments. The retro aesthetic here actually drew me in and i found myself watching all of it this time around. Well played mate! Thats how its done!
6:39 That expression have me such a good laugh haha
same i died😂
I was only listening to the video not watching it, and it really annoyed me how long it took me to realize the ad roll wasn't actually an old Mac ad, and even worse a raid garbolegends ad at that, like in a way that fully rejuvenated my once dulled hatred for youtuber ads lmao
sponsor block
To this day it still bugs me that the public loves the wrong steve. When you say apple made this or that design choice, it doesn't tell the story. The apple 1 & first version of the apple 2 were in Woz's words an individual design project. Woz alone designed the apple 1 & 2. Jobs was the marketing guy Woz was the creator, hardware & code.
Honestly Apple wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for both Steve’s, they were both necessary. Woz is the genius behind the machines but it would’ve just been handed around hobby clubs if Jobs didn’t see the potential it had as a consumer product.
I set this video to 144P for nostalgia
2:08 holy shit, it's Steve The Woz!
10:09 the 6502 was virtually tied for cheapest with the Z80 at ~$25. That's why you also saw lots of Z80 based systems around the same time.
I had a cp/m computer running on z80.... a Heathkit z89
And I thought Raid Shadow Ledgends was extinct... i guess not
i miss old computers so freaking much no AI no bloatware no spyware just perfection
unlike the shitty copilot that we all have
i give you linux
Can we just stop with linux FOR 5 MINUTES ?!?
@@starlightmalow i use arch btw

@@ma-n100 thank you.
6:37 “Large and hard,” you say…? 😎🥴
A few additions. Apple was not the first to use a composite monitor for a personal computer. That honor is to the Sol-PC (mainboard only)/Sol-10(mainboard plus case plus keyboard)/Sol-20(Sol-10 with numeric keyboard), first available from March 1976. Before that, Processor Technology (who created it), made the VDM-1 in late 1975. The VDM-1 was an expansion card on the Altair 8800, giving it a composite output and keyboard interface. The Sol-PC was only $575 as kit and assembled for $745.
Also, I miss the MOS KIM-1 which also had a lot of influence on the Apple I creation, being the first computer using the MOS 6502 CPU.
Lastly, the Apple I was indeed a friendly computer for its time. However, you only bought a board. There was no power supply, no keyboard, no case and no cassette interface. The market was still for hobbyists. It took until 1977 with the release of the Commodore PET 2001, Apple II and Tandy TRS-80 before you can start a computer and immediately start talking English to it, BASIC. Commodore PET 2001 was announced in January 1977, but only became available in June that year. Similar to Apple, who announced in April and released in June, Tandy was totally unexpected with an announcement and release in August 1977.
All three of those 1977 computers apparently had some surprising interconnections in their development, too. LowSpecGamer touched on it in one of his videos; I don't remember if it was the MOS 6502 video (on "the first LowSpec Processor") or the Z80 video.
3:09 Loki the Deciever or Reciever? Lol
WAIT WHAT
Both, probably
dude that ad was SUBTLE AS HELL
i legit didn't think it was your voice but then i threw my head back in realization going 'oh my god'
The fact that Apple was founded on innovation and affordability is laughable from today's perspective since, despite all the shit talking I do, one thing they're good at is taking someone else's innovation and dumbing it down for non tech savvy people at a status symbol price point
4:23 That can actually be credited to 3 different computers, known as "The Big Three", which were the Apple ][, Commodore PET, and Radio Shack TRS-80
It's honestly insane going from the Apple I to the Apple II, going from being made in a garage to being mass produced
"GUYS NATIONSQUID RELEASED NEW PEAK VIDEO"🗣️
8:16 plus, the Xerox Alto wasn't even actually sold to normal customers, only its successor (Xerox Star) was
I have liked to think Apple as a name relates to Sir Isaac Newton developing a revolutionary theory by watching an apple fall from a tree.
you should see the first apple logo
When's the sequel? Apple 2: the applening.
Apple 2: Electric Appaloo(sa)
It's interesting to see how far apple has come!
Nation squid is the only TH-camr that can make me enjoy a raid shadow legends ad 🧑💻🙏
There was no way to skip this damn genius ad. I give up NationSquid, I will never skip your ads again.
Apple being more affordable? Not something i thought I'd ever hear!
channel so good even the ads are entertaining 🗣️🗣️
I started my IT career in 1983 on an Apple ][+. Oh the memories. Thank you for a great video.
Normally, I skip the in video ads, but your execution of them is something I cannot skip. Great job!
The Apple I wasn’t a “PC”.
It was a home computer.
There were no PCs until IBM made a product NAMED a PC. Personal Computer was a brand not a description.
The product category was home computers.
The best sponsored ad ever from raid I really liked it
Appreciation for how the sponsor was introduced. Love the tagline though I don’t like the game.
Wow. Only 20 left. Unbelievable.
Apple 1? I barely know her!
Lol
6:38 took me seeing him make a strange facial expression and my brain a few seconds to realize LOL
That Sponsor portion was devious. Congrats, i fell for it
Broo i thought the raid shadow legends ad was actually a 1980s commercial 😭
i just watched the "first mac virus" video and now i get a notification of a macintosh video
Can we PLEASE GET SOME VIRUS CONTENT, ITS YOUR MOST VIEWED VIDEOS AND BEST ENTERTAINING CONTENT. PLEASE SQUIDY D:
The sponsor was so smooth even my sponsor detecter couldn't detect it
I cant help but just say how this will make me check out the game cause he themes it off of his video he is making
2:29: MUTINY! MUTINY! MUTINY!
17:18 "a tape with basic installed on it" 🤣
Minion at 1:08
15:44 that’s one hell of a deal
Apple had a graphical OS before Microsoft Windows, but I don't that Apple puts everything behind a walled garden. They don't license out their OS to manufactures they way Microsoft does with WIndows or let anyone build a custom Mac with Apple's MacOS. This limits your choices. On the PC side, you have so many different PCs to choose from whereas on the Mac side, you are limed to only what Apple offers. Plus Apple has refused to make a touchscreen laptop or a 2-in-1. Microsoft doesn't make the devices that Windows runs out wheres apple makes both the computer and the OS. I think Apple wants to control both the hardware and software
I honestly prefer it that way, but I understand how people wouldn’t. The integration of hardware and software finely tuned to work on a specific machine and platform is a better experience imo.
Ok that ad segue was way too good. Didn’t realize til I saw the gameplay that it wasn’t an ad from the se/30 era.
APPLE SUPREMACY HUZAH!
Kind of inaccurate to refer to the computers at the time as PC's. The community had home computers and the idea of a personal computer as we think of them today was still almost 10 years off.
HP was never able to create hobby kit computers, there was no market for cheap computers back then.
Running Arcade games made computers in homes big.
Yippeeee!! Love your videos dude, great work. :3
2:26 I thought that was a real commercial until you came on 💀💀💀
The Apple-1’s design was intentionally not patented and its schematics and PCs layout were included with the manuals. Because of this, you can buy a newly made unpopulated pcb for anywhere between $40 and $150 depending on the accuracy. And around 95% of its parts are still made (including the 6502 cpu!) so there are actually a lot more than 20 left.
Hey man, I really like the channel. Great content and pacing. Keep it up!
Yo, mah boi, what's up with that dirt stash?? You know they got this brown sharpie marker at wal-mart you can use for hiding scratches in wood furniture? That might help fill in those blank spots. One love, keep up these ol' vintage videos
this vid was great! i really hope you make more vids on the timeline of Apple here, i need to know more
12:37 "if you don't, somebody will"
I'm confused. Did it come with a monitor and keyboard? Or the customer had to provide their own? Also, was the motherboard contained in anything, or just loose?
Apple turn into a cult now
8:10 The Xerox Alto was released in 1973. So, adjusting for inflation, $32,000 would be $226,695.50 as of 2024.
First raid shadow legends sponsor segment i actually watched through
WOWEE Steve Apple really bought you a coffee?
Usagi Electric is a good channel.. he's making a computer out of tubes.. extremely old skool. I think his Ti994 is his NEWEST machine
13:05 Being a "fruitarian" sounds like a person who needed an excuse to not eat your veggies.
I like your beard 👍
dude, ngl that transition to the sponsorship was SMOOTH as butter. genuinely thought it was an actual ad for the macintosh showing the power of it for a bit until i realized XD. smooth af, props to you
Ok that sponsor segment was smooth af
Cassette interface was common across all of the computers back then. And they all ran Bills BASIC which was how he got Microsoft started. For a short period the apple had woz’ basic but they replaced it with Microsoft pretty quickly. I think they hired him to mod is so it could do floating point math.
the original apple computer was a kit made from off the shelf parts. there are no "unofficial" ones imo.
Apple likes to pretend that their first systems never existed, or at best, a footnote. The Apple II made millions for them to fund two other flops like the Apple III and the Lisa, and to carry the company during the first years of the Macintosh. The Apple II was the cash cow that they barely improved and finally discontinued, and while it continued to make money Apple wanted to get rid of it, starting with the Apple III. If it had not been for it, there likely Apple would not exist as a company today.
The Apple II deserved a far better fate than what it got. It would be great if Apple would just open source it, but they would rather bury and forget it forever.
Rye Rye was here early 0o0
Your history of computers is a little off.
mainframe systems never went away. They shifted to terminal interfaces, and eventually to terminal emulators (this is why the Linux terminal is called that in the first place….that entire concept of a command line where you interact with the computer through keywords and flags has its origin in mainframe terminal interfaces. And those systems are still in use and will be for at least 50 more years, and they probably won’t be replaced because the hardware is still getting updated.
Besides that, you did a decent history of Apple’s place in the microcomputer space.
So if Windows 95 was made in 1995, was Apple 1 made in 1?
I love your channel, is so unique and fun and SUPER interesting and I bet these videos take tons and tons of work, thanks.
Funny how "affordable" Apple computers are nowadays uh?
Many are in private collections. They’re not under spotlights and in museums.
Love your videos! Thank you ❤
new video ‼️‼️ im gonna listen to this while i sleep
I used to have old PC's when I was a kid. Are you saying that these old computers are collector's items or something? We had an Apple II briefly. I guess that's not much of a collector's item since it was mass produced.
It's not a Nationsquid video if he doesn't plug his Patreon
“Take a byte” bruh 😂😂
OH MU GOD JUST AS I WAS GOING TO SLEEP THANK YOU
Hope your toe gets better homie
If it wasn’t for Steve jobs inspiration we would never have something like this
Thanks!
Yea
Nothing screams epicness like Nationsquid uploading at midnight (EST) 💀
:> great video! i love the old internet!
Sorry guys, I can’t go out tonight NationSquid posted…
