Apple's Legendary Garage is 'a Bit of Myth', Says Apple Co-Founder
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has been always chatty about everything including the company he co-founded. In a recent interview, he talked briefly about the early days of Apple and upon being asked on the legendary Apple garage, Woz said it 'is a bit of a myth.'
"The garage is a bit of a myth. We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there. The garage didn't serve much purpose, except it was something for us to feel was our home. We had no money. You have to work out of your home when you have no money," Wozniak said in an interview with Businessweek.
Wozniak also stated that although Steve Jobs wanted to be a person who moves the world forward, he really couldn't create things and design them like Woz.
The actual work was being done at his cubicle at Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) in Cupertino, Woz said.
"That was an incredible time. It let me do a lot of side projects, and it was five years to the summer of '75, when I built the Apple computer, the first one. The next summer I built the Apple II computer."
The house that equips the "legendary" garage was built in 1952 and has been voted unanimously by Los Altos Historical Commission as a "historic resource."
