A sampling of highlighted quotes from Jobs and Sculley: Jobs on Product Presentation: “He doesn’t want a glossy, ‘people’ thing. People at Apple are in touch with the industry.” “Lisa technology is the technical foundation of this company - will lead us through the 80’s.” “Will bring this technology down into other 68,000 future systems.” Sculley on Product Development and Manufacturing: “Great product designs.” “Able to bring a product to market in one year, not three.” “Great manufacturing knowhow.” Discussion on Competition and Strategy: Jobs: “Let’s not knock ourselves. By normal standards, we have done well. We’ve grown another Apple in one year.” Sculley: “We don’t want to come out and talk about it in print. Ala Osborne. We would like to show how Lisa technology can even trickle down into Apple 2, by featuring the Mouse. Sculley wants to show the Apple 2 with a Mouse.” Strategic Vision and Apple’s Mission: Sculley: “We want to market high-cost technology and translate it into our products for individuals in a low-cost high-quality easy-to-use fashion. This technology statement is so critical that will make whatever investment at the expense of short-term results.” Jobs: “Last year - we haven’t lost our spirit. And we are sophisticated.” Jobs: “This year - one long letter from the President and the Chairman. No glossy ‘people’ photographs, etc. No ‘Gentleman Quarterly’ shit.” In fine condition. Accompanied by various inter-office memos and schedules related to the preparation and expenses of the 1983 annual report.

Steve Jobs: (3) Apple-1 Prototype Polaroid Photographs Given to Paul Terrell of the Byte Shop in 1976 Three original vintage circa 1976 Polaroid snapshot photographs from Steve Jobs's 'pitch deck' for the Apple-1 Computer, each measuring 3.5 x 4.25, given by Jobs to pioneering computer retailer Paul Terrell, owner of the Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, during Jobs's historic 1976 demo of the device. On seeing Steve Jobs's demonstration of the Apple-1, Paul Terrell gave Apple their first big sale—a 'COD' (Cash On Delivery) purchase order for 50 Apple-1 Computers on 'Net 30' terms, which provided Jobs with the seed capital funds to start manufacturing the computers and allowed Apple Computer to establish credit with its suppliers of component parts. The Polaroids show Steve Jobs's prototype Apple-1 board (then denoted "Apple Computer A") hooked up to an uncased Amkey keyboard and standard CRT video monitor: one photo shows an overview of the setup, one shows a closer angle of the computer board itself, and the other shows the computer in action, with a program running on the screen that concludes in: "This is the Apple Computer-1." In overall fine condition. The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. These three Polaroids originate directly from Paul Terrell; they were famously published in Harry McCracken's 'Technologizer' column in Time Magazine on November 22, 2012, under the title, 'Behold, Some of the First Apple Computer Photos Ever.' RR Auction sold the Apple-1 prototype pictured in 2022 for over $677,000, at which time these photos received further media coverage worldwide. Though previously believed to have been taken by Terrell during Jobs's demonstration, his recollection is that Jobs had prepared them as part of his original 'pitch deck' and left them at the Byte Shop. The Byte Shop's $25,000 purchase order forever changed the course of Apple Computer, Inc.—what Jobs and Woz had conceived as part of a $40 do-it-yourself kit for hobbyists became, at Terrell's request, a fully assembled personal computer to be sold at $666.66. Steve Wozniak later placed Terrell's purchase order for fifty Apple-1s in perspective: 'That was the biggest single episode in all of the company's history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.'

Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check - PSA MINT 9 Early Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Jobs, "steven jobs," payable to Redwood Ans. Service for $16.90, July 4, 1976. Headed "Apple Computer Company," the check uses Apple's first official address at "770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto"—the location of the answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition, with a minor brush to Jobs' last name. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "MINT 9." Signed on the Fourth of July amidst celebrations of the United States bicentennial, Steve Jobs was about to foment a revolution of his own—the microcomputer revolution. During this period in the summer of 1976, roughly three months after founding the Apple Computer Company, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were hard at work building their first product: the Apple-1 Computer. Running the company out of the Jobs family garage, they got an 'official' address with the Redwood Answering Service in Palo Alto, which gave them a mail drop and telephone number for dealer inquiries. They set the price of the Apple-1 at $666.66, and sold about 175 of the 200 units built over the span of ten months. The initial, niche success of the Apple-1 spurred development of the Apple II, released in 1977. The Apple II, along with the Commodore PET 2001 and Tandy TRS-80, became known as the 'trinity' of mass-market personal computers, and represented the advent of the microcomputer revolution.
