To finance its generation, Steve Positions sold his VW microbus for a couple hundred pounds and Steve Wozniak chipped in the $500 he raised from selling his HP-65 calculator.
Manufacturing of the Apple-1 ceased on September 30, 1977, 3 months right after the model’s successor, the Apple II, was released.
