In 1977 two young men--Steven P.Jobs and Stephan G. Wozniak--had an idea, to bring the computer into the living-room. With a compact size, simplicity of operation and a multitude of functions, their "Apple" did indeed find it's way into America's living-room, and the world's to the tune of almost 600 million in sales in 1982.
一九七七年，蘋果電腦公司的創始人傑伯（Steven P.Jobs）與華茲尼克（StephanG. Wozniak）獲得創業投資公司的協助，推出自己開發成功的「蘋果二號」家用電腦，並以其「體積小、功能多、操作簡便」的特色，風行全球，五年內銷售額由二百五十萬美元竄升至五億八千三百萬美元，增加了二百卅多倍。
