Uma sikhuluma ngemvelaphi ye-Apple, sivame ukuthwebula isithombe esicace kakhulu: USteve Jobs noSteve Wozniak egaraji laseCalifornia, behlanganisa ama-prototypes futhi baphuphe inkampani, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ezochaza kabusha ubuchwepheshe besimanje. Leso sithombe sigxile kakhulu esikweni elidumile kangangokuthi abaningi abazi nokuthi, empeleni, I-Apple yayingenabo abasunguli ababili, kodwa abathathu. Owesithathu kwakuthiwa uRonald Wayne. Futhi indaba yakhe ingenye yalezo ezibonakala zakhiwe. Wasayina ama-athikili e-Apple Computer yokuhlanganiswa, waklama ilogo yokuqala yenkampani, wabhala isivumelwano sayo sokuqala esisemthethweni… wabe esesiyeka sonke. emva kwezinsuku eziyishumi nambili.
Amasheya akhe, awathengisa ngo-$800 ukuze “agweme izinkinga”, Zizoba ngaphezu kwezigidigidi ezingama-22.000 namuhla. Ushintsho olukhulu kangaka lwezenzakalo akunzima ukukukholelwa.
Kodwa ukuze siqonde ukuthi uWayne uyithole kanjani leyo ndima, kufanele sibuyele emuva kancane. Konke kwaqala ngomfutho wokudala ka-Steve Wozniak, unjiniyela okhaliphile omatasatasa ngokwakha eyakhe ikhompuyutha yomuntu siqu. Maphakathi nawo-70, umqondo "wekhompyutha yasekhaya" wawuzwakala ufana nenganekwane yesayensi, kodwa u-Wozniak akazange avume ukulinganiselwa ngaleso sikhathi. Ngo-1975, ephefumulelwe i-Altair 8800 (ikhompyutha eyavusa isizukulwane sonjiniyela abasha), wanquma ukuthi angaklama okuthile okungcono: okufinyeleleka kalula, okushibhile, futhi kulula ukukusebenzisa.
UWozniak usebenze ngesikhathi sakhe sokuphumula ngenkathi egcina umsebenzi wakhe e-Hewlett-Packard. Izibonelo zakhe zakuqala zaziyingxube yobuhlakani, izintambo ezixegayo, nothando olukhulu. Phakathi naleyo nqubo, waphinde waxhumana nowayefunda naye esikoleni esiphakeme: uSteve Jobs othile, Wayeneminyaka engu-21 ngaleso sikhathi futhi, nakuba wayengenawo amakhono obuchwepheshe kaWozniak, wabelana ngombono wakhe wokuthi lezo zifunda zingashintsha umhlaba. Imisebenzi yayinethalente lokuhlonza amathuba lapho abanye bebona ukuhlolwa kuphela. Futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, wayenesifiso sokuvelela esingenamkhawulo.
Kusuka lapho lIndaba isiqala ukubukeka njengenganekwane esiyaziyo sonke: oSteve ababili abasebenza egaraji lomndeni wakwaJobs, Babehlanganisa amabhodi omama, izakhi zokuhlola, futhi bethola ukuthi bangayiguqula kanjani into abayithandayo ibe ibhizinisi langempela. Kodwa ngisho nakulesi sigaba sokuqala, ayentula okuthile phakathi kwabo ayenakho: ukwakheka. Nokubhalisa. Futhi othile ukuletha ukuhleleka okuthile isiphithiphithi zokudala. Yilapho uRonald Wayne engena khona.
Wayengubani uWayne? Ingabe wayenento yokwenza noBatman?
UWayne wayengumklami nonjiniyela onokuhlangenwe nakho okuningi komsebenzi kunomsebenzi noma i-Wozniak. Uke wasebenza neMisebenzi e-Atari futhi wadlala indima ecishe ibe ngubaba eqenjini. UJobs wayemethemba, futhi uWayne wayenakho kanye lokho lezi zinsizwa ezimbili ezazingenakho: umbono wokuphatha, ikhono lokubhala imibhalo yezomthetho, futhi, ngaphezu kwakho konke, imvelo ehlakaniphile eyayilinganisa ukuthatheka kukaJobs. Lapho benquma ukuthola i-Apple Computer ngo-Ephreli 1, 1976, baphendukela kuWayne ukuze baqedele abathathu. Wayenomthwalo wemfanelo wokubhala umbono wabo ngokubhala nokusayina, kanye nabo, isivumelwano sokuhlukaniswa kwesitoko. (U-10% ku-Wayne, u-45% weMisebenzi, u-45% we-Wozniak).
Kodwa u-Apple ngo-1976 wayengeyena u-Apple. Kwakungeyona inkampani yamazwe ngamazwe, impumelelo eqinisekisiwe, noma i-rocket eyayizosuka. Kwakuyibhizinisi elincane lezezimali elinezikweletu ezingase zibe khona kanye nemakethe eyayingakabi naso isiqiniseko sokuthi yayifuna amakhompyutha omuntu siqu. UWayne, owayesevele enebhizinisi elihlulekile, wayekhathazeke ngodaba olulodwa oluqondile: Uma u-Apple ehluleka, uzobophezeleka ngokomthetho ngempahla yakhe.Imisebenzi kanye ne-Wozniak yayingenalutho lokulahlekelwa. Wayne wenza. Ezinsukwini eziyishumi nambili ngemuva kokusayina izindatshana zokufakwa kwe-Apple, ngenxa yokwesaba kunokuqiniseka, wayeka isabelo sakhe ukuze agweme izingozi.
Indaba yayingaphelela lapho. Kodwa isiphetho sasiwukuthi Imisebenzi noWozniak bazothengisa izinto ezimbalwa ezibalulekile ababenazo ukuze baqhubeke nomsebenzi. Imisebenzi idayise ikhumbi yakhe yakwaVolkswagen. UWozniak wathengisa umshini wokubala wakhe wesayensi (i-HP-65, eyayiyigugu ngaleso sikhathi). Bekuwukuphela kwendlela yokuxhasa ukukhiqizwa komkhiqizo wabo wokuqala omkhulu: i-Apple I, ikhompuyutha eyenziwe ngezandla ethengiswa njengebhodi lomama ngaphandle kwekesi, ikhibhodi, noma ukunikezwa kwamandla. Noma kunjalo, kwaba ukugxuma okukhulu kwezobuchwepheshe ngaleso sikhathi.
Ukuqala kwento enkulu
Leyo khompuyutha yokuqala yavula umnyango we-Apple II, ngempela okungaba impumelelo emangazayo kanye noshintsho olungaqinisa inkampani. UWayne wayengasekho ukuzoyibona. Ukuhamba kwakhe kwahlala kuwumbhalo waphansi eminyakeni yokuqala ka-Apple, kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwashintsha kwaba esinye sezinqumo okukhulunywa ngazo kakhulu emlandweni webhizinisi: indoda eyadela ingcebo engacabangeki ngenxa yokwesaba isikweletu esingase sibe khona.
Ingabe ngempela kwakuyiphutha? Ngokombono wezomnotho, kwakunjalo. Ngokombono womuntu, isimo sihluke kakhulu. UWayne akakaze abonise ukucasuka. Naye uye wachaza ezingxoxweni eziningi ukuthi isinqumo sakhe besinengqondo uma kubhekwa izimo, ukuthi iMisebenzi ibiyisivunguvungu esinzima futhi ubengafuni ukuphinde azithole esengena ezinkingeni zezimali. Uphinde wathi u-Apple ubezoba yisipiliyoni esibi kakhulu kuyena, nokuthi akangeni esikweni lokubeka engcupheni ngokwedlulele elabekwa yiMisebenzi nangalezo zinsuku zokuqala.
Impilo ngeyabanesibindi.
Indaba yomsunguli wesithathu we-Apple ayisona nje isimo "sokuthi uma ...", kodwa futhi iwindi kokuthile esivame ukuyikhohlwa: U-Apple akazalwanga njengomdondoshiya ongenasici. Yazalelwa egalaji, enezingxenye ezibolekiwe, ngesabelomali esifushane, phakathi kwezingxabano ezingapheli, kanye neqembu elalingazi noma lizoba nemali eyanele yokukhokha ngenyanga ezayo. Yazalwa ngokuthuthukiswa, izinqumo eziyingozi, kanye nenhlanganisela ecishe ibe yisimangaliso ithalente lobuchwepheshe (Wozniak), i-acumen yebhizinisi (Imisebenzi) nokusekelwa kwesakhiwo (Wayne).
URonald Wayne wanquma ukuhamba ngoba, kuye, ukugembula kwakukhulu kakhulu. Futhi mhlawumbe wayeqinisile. Akuwona wonke umuntu onqunyelwe umsebenzi onzima wokwakha inkampani efana ne-Apple kusukela ekuqaleni. Imisebenzi noWozniak babebasha, benesibindi, futhi bengenasineke. UWayne wayebona ukuphila ngendlela ehlukile. Okumangazayo ukuthi isikhathi sakhe esifushane e-Apple sanele ukushiya uphawu: isignesha yakhe ibhalwe encwadini yokusungula inkampani, uphawu lwakhe lwaluyisithombe sokuqala esisemthethweni sika-Apple, futhi inkontileka yakhe yasungula imithetho eyisisekelo yalokho okwakuzoba umbuso womhlaba kamuva.
Umlando we-Apple ugcwele imikhiqizo edumile, Yakhiwe ngezinqumo zombono kanye nezikhathi ezibalulekile, kodwa futhi nalezi zindaba ezincane zabantu ezingavamisile ukuba zibe ukulandisa okusemthethweni. Ngoba ngaphambi kokuthi i-Apple ibe yi-Apple, ngaphambi kokuthi ichaze kabusha umculo, ucingo, ikhompuyutha yomuntu siqu, futhi manje ubuhlakani bokwenziwa, kwakuyiphupho nje elabelwa abantu abathathu abanezizinda ezihluke kakhulu, okwathi izinsuku ezimbalwa, bahamba ndawonye.
