Возняк Стив
(Wozniak Stephen) (р. 1950, шт. Калифорния), американский дизайнер в области
компьютеров, соучредитель фирмы Apple.
Учился в
Калифорнийском университете в Беркли. Не закончив учебу, был принят на работу в
компанию Hewlett-Packard. Все свое свободное время проводил в клубе
"Самодельный компьютер" (Homebrew) в компании таких же молодых
энтузиастов в Пало-Альто. В 1975 году к ним присоединился Стив Джобс,
предложивший Возняку начать работу над новым компьютером, который мог бы хорошо
продаваться. В гараже, принадлежавшем родителям Джобса, они сообща разработали
и построили компьютерную плату, прототип компьютера Apple I. Местный торговец
электронным оборудованием заказал им 25 таких устройств, и тогда Возняк оставил
свою работу, чтобы стать вице-президентом нового предприятия.
1 апреля 1976
года Джобс и Возняк основали компанию Apple Computer, которая была
зарегистрирована в 1977 году. Ее первой продукцией стал компьютер Apple I ценою
в 666,66 долларов. Этот компьютер, отличавшийся простотой и компактностью,
предназначался главным образом для любителей и энтузиастов. Всего было продано
600 таких машин. Появившийся вскоре Apple II стал еще более компактным и
удобным в пользовании. Успех компании оказался феноменальным, и в 1980 году она
стала акционерным обществом.
Следующими
шагами фирмы стало производство принтеров и программного обеспечения. В связи с
тем, что Возняк попал в авиакатастрофу в начале 1981 года, ему пришлось на
некоторое время оставить фирму, но уже в 1983 вернулся туда и проработал в
компании до 1985 года, после чего он создал новую компанию по разработке систем
удаленного доступа для использования в бытовых компьютерах. Фирма, называвшаяся
CL-9, существовала до конца 1989 года. После ухода из Apple Возняк завершил
образование в Беркли со степенью бакалавра в области компьютерных наук и
электротехники, и стал преподавать на общественных началах.
