Wozniak begins attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club, where he is inspired to design his own personal computer.

Wozniak designs and builds the Apple I computer, a single-board computer that he initially intended to give away to fellow hobbyists. It is considered a groundbreaking achievement in personal computing.

Wozniak, along with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, officially found Apple Computer Company. Wayne soon sells his shares.

Wozniak designs the Apple II computer, a significant improvement over the Apple I. The Apple II features color graphics, a keyboard, and a plastic case, making it more user-friendly and commercially successful.

The Apple II becomes one of the first highly successful mass-produced microcomputers, revolutionizing the personal computer industry. Wozniak's engineering skills are crucial to its design and manufacturing.

Wozniak is seriously injured in a plane crash while piloting a Beechcraft Bonanza. He suffers amnesia and temporarily loses his memory of the event. This event significantly impacts his involvement with Apple.

After recovering from his injuries, Wozniak returns to UC Berkeley under the alias "Rocky Clark" and earns his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science.

Wozniak officially leaves Apple Computer, citing differences in vision and direction with Steve Jobs. He expresses a desire to pursue other interests and projects.
