April 1, 1976 - Apple Computer, Inc was founded in Cupertino, California by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne. The Apple I personal computer kit was hand built by Wozniak in Jobs' garage and was on the market by the summer of 1976. The Apple II was introduced on April 16, 1977 and quickly became one of the first mass produced personal computers on the market. The company, known as Apple Inc since Jan. 9 2007, has branched out from personal computer hardware to software and electronic devices such as the iPod and iPhone. The Macintosh computer was introduced by the now famous television commercial, "1984," directed by Ridley Scott, and aired during Super Bowl XVIII.  In 2001, Apple introduced the iPod and followed it with the iTunes online music store in 2003.
