<h2>The West Coast Computer Faire</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The new company got ready to show off their product at the West Coast Computer Faire, a conference held in San Francisco in April 1977. It was only
|
||
a prototype, but the plastic case definitely made the Apple II look like a professional product. Steve negotiated a prime spot for Apple’s booth, and
|
||
took precious advice from both Mike Markkula and Regis McKenna. That’s why he bought his first suit for the occasion.

|
||
Apple Computer received 300 orders for the Apple II on the show alone,
|
||
twice as much as the total number of Apple I’s ever sold! But this was just the beginning.
