Early company History: Pre-Apple
Before they started making computers Steve Wozniak designed the game, Pong.
He had Jobs take it down to Atari and they thought that Jobs made the game so
they gave him a job as a technician. He then left for a while then came back and he
was assigned to create a circuit board for Breakout. Later, Wozniak designed a
low cost “blue box” to generate necessary tones to manipulate the telephone
network, allowing free long distance calls, and perhaps that's what planted the
seed in Steve's mind that electronics could be both fun and profitable. Jobs said
“that if not for the blue boxes, there would have been no Apple.”
