- After the success of the Apple I, Wozniak designed the Apple II, the first personal computer that had the ability to display color graphics, and BASIC programming language built-in$ Inspired by “the technique Atari used to simulate colors on its first arcade games”, Wozniak found a way of putting colors into the NTSC system by using a $1 chip$ while colors in the PAL system were achieved by “accident” when a dot occurred on a line, and to this day he has no idea how it works. During the design stage, Steve Jobs argued that the Apple II should have two expansion slots, while Wozniak wanted eight.After a heated argument, during which Wozniak had threatened for Jobs to ‘go get himself another computer’, they decided to go with eight slots. Jobs and Wozniak introduced the Apple II at the 1977 West Coast Computer Faire. It became one of the first highly successful mass-produced personal computers in the world.
