Owen Whetzel, president of the Sunnyvale school board, left, takes a close look at an Apple Computer in July 1983 with Steve Wozniak, co-founder, center, and Steve Jobs, Chairman of the board of Apple Computer, Inc., at right. Apple announced the start of the first shipment of 9,000 computers to virtually every school in the state of California in a massive giveaway aimed at promoting "computer literacy" in the primary and secondary schools. The first and millionth produced were given to the Sunnyvale School District.
Wow. Sure isn't 1983 anymore.
