Two hundred computers were produced but they couldn't satisfy all the requests. Jobs and Wozniak didn't possess a lot of money, it is the reason why the apple I wasn't very powerful. But thanks to the money they won with its sales, they thought of a more ambitious machine : The apple II. The idea was to create a computer which all people could use. The difference is thats the postiong was going to be un color and the computer was going to be into a case more aesthetic. But to make this machine they needed some money and they didn't have enough. No bank wanted to risk into this project : The idea of a computer which all people could use was considered as absurd at that time.

Ronald Wayne who had helped Jobs and Wozniak to crete Apple I couldn't believe in the sucess of the Apple II and he abandonned the company. Finally Jobs met Mark Markkula in 1977.

He brought his knowledge and a contribution of 250.000 $
