The designer of the Apple Computer, Steve Jobs, was not quite successful in his early years. He was not among the best students at school, and from time to time he got into trouble with either his schoolmates or his teachers. But he was full of new ideas, which few people saw the value of. Things remained the same when he went up to college and he dropped out halfway.

Along with his friend Stephen Wozniak, he designed the Apple Computer in his bedroom and built it in his garage(車庫(kù)). He gave the name “Apple” because it reminded him of a happy summer he once on an orchard(果園) in Oregon.
