Which company released this computer in 1976?

The late 1970s saw some of the early steps into personal computing. Few of the companies active at that time went on to be successful. The device in the picture is the Apple Computer 1, also known as Apple-1. It later became known as the Apple I (written with a Roman numeral).

Apple-1 was an 8-bit personal computer designed by Steve Wozniak and released by the Apple Computer Company in 1976. The company was initially formed to sell the Apple-1 – its first product – and eventually became the world's largest technology company, renamed as Apple Inc. The idea of starting a company and selling the computer came from Wozniak's friend and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

One of the things that made Apple-1 special as a home computer was that it included video display terminal circuitry on its circuit board, allowing it to connect to a low-cost composite video monitor or a television. Other computers of the period avoided this and used more expensive monitors because business was used to more characters per displayed/typewritten line. A development of the model included a BASIC interpreter, allowing users to utilise BASIC at home instead of at institutions with mainframe computers, greatly lowering the entry cost for computing with BASIC.

Only about 200 units of Apple I were made; production was discontinued in September 1977, after the June 1977 introduction of its successor, the Apple II.
