Pavel Jelic Uma uke waba nentshisekelo okungenani kancane emlandweni we-Apple, uyazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi uSteve Jobs wodumo kwakungeyena yedwa umuntu owasungula inkampani yakwa-Apple. Ngo-1976, le nkampani yasungulwa nguSteve Jobs, Steve Wozniak noRonald Wayne. Nakuba imisebenzi isineminyaka eminingi ifile, uWozniak noWayne basenathi. Ikhambi lokungafi noma ukumiswa kokuguga akukakasungulwa, ngakho ngamunye wethu uyaqhubeka ekhula futhi ekhula. Ngisho noSteve Wozniak, ogubha usuku lwakhe lokuzalwa lwama-11 namuhla, Agasti 2020, 70, akakubalekelanga ukuguga. Kulesi sihloko, ake sikhumbule ngokushesha impilo kaWozniak kuze kube manje.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Benjamin Levicek USteve Wozniak, owaziwa ngegama lesidlaliso elithi Woz, wazalwa ngo-August 11, 1950, futhi ngokushesha ngemva kokuzalwa kwakhe, kwenzeka iphutha elincane. Igama lokuqala likaWozniak ngu "Stephan" esitifiketini sakhe sokuzalwa, kodwa lokhu kusolakala ukuthi kwakuyiphutha ngokusho kukanina - wayefuna igama elithi Stephen nge "e". Ngakho igama lika-Wozniak eligcwele lokuzalwa ngu-Stephan Gary Wozniak. Uyinzalo endala yomndeni futhi isibongo sakhe sisuka ePoland. UWozniak wachitha ubuntwana bakhe eSan José. Mayelana nemfundo yakhe, ngemva kokufunda eHomestead High School, lapho uSteve Jobs ayefunda khona, waqala ukufunda eNyuvesi yaseColorado eBoulder. Kodwa-ke, kamuva waphoqeleka ukuthi ayishiye le nyuvesi ngenxa yezizathu zezimali futhi wadluliselwa eDe Anza Community College. Nokho akazange aziqede izifundo zakhe futhi wanquma ukuzinikela ekuqeqesheni nasekuqeqesheni umsebenzi wakhe. Waqale wasebenzela inkampani i-Hawlett-Packard futhi ngaleso sikhathi wenza amakhompyutha e-Apple I ne-Apple II. Wabe esephothula izifundo zakhe zeziqu eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia eBerkley.
Igalari yezithombe
U-Wozniak wasebenza e-Hawlett-Packard kusukela ngo-1973 kuya ku-1976. Ngemva kokuhamba kwakhe e-Hawlett-Packard ngo-1976, wasungula i-Apple Computer no-Steve Jobs kanye no-Ronald Wayne, ayeyingxenye yabo iminyaka engu-9. Naphezu kokuthi wayishiya inkampani yakwa-Apple, usaqhubeka nokuthola iholo kuyo, ngokumela inkampani yakwa-Apple. Ngemva kokushiya i-Apple, u-Wozniak wazinikela kuphrojekthi yakhe entsha i-CL 9, ayisungula nabangane bakhe. Kamuva wazinikela ekufundiseni nasemicimbini yokusiza abantulayo ehlobene nemfundo. Ungabona u-Wozniak, isibonelo, kumafilimu uSteve Jobs noma iPirates yaseSilicon Valley, waze wabonakala ngesizini yesine yochungechunge lweThe Big Bang Theory. U-Woz uthathwa njengonjiniyela wekhompyutha kanye ne-philanthropist. Ungase futhi ube nentshisekelo yokwazi ukuthi umgwaqo oseSan José, eWoz Way, uqanjwe ngaye. Kulo mgwaqo kune-Children's Discovery Museum, uSteve Wozniak aseyisekele iminyaka eminingi.
Impumelelo yakhe enkulu ngokungangabazeki kwakuyikhompiyutha ye-Apple II eshiwo, eyashintsha ngokuphelele imboni yekhompyutha yomhlaba. I-Apple II yayinephrosesa ye-MOS Technology 6502 enemvamisa yewashi engu-1 MHz, kanye nenkumbulo ye-RAM engu-4 KB. I-Apple II yasekuqaleni yathuthukiswa kamuva, isibonelo i-48 KB ye-RAM yayitholakala, noma i-floppy drive. Ukuthuthukiswa okukhulu kweza kamuva, nokuqamba okwengeziwe. Ngokuqondile, kamuva kwaba nokwenzeka ukuthenga amakhompyutha e-Apple II ane-Plus, IIe, IIc kanye ne-IIGS noma i-IIc Plus izengezo. Eyakamuva yayino-3,5" diskette drive (esikhundleni sika-5,25") futhi iphrosesa yathathelwa indawo imodeli ye-WDC 65C02 enemvamisa yewashi engu-4MHz. Ukuthengiswa kwamakhompyutha we-Apple II kwaqala ukwehla ngo-1986, imodeli ye-IIGS yasekelwa kwaze kwaba ngu-1993. Amanye amamodeli we-Apple II asetshenziswa ngokuqhubekayo kuze kube ngu-2000, okwamanje le mishini ayivamile kakhulu futhi ilanda amanani aphezulu endalini.
