In the first 5 minutes the crowd turns a bit hostile about order delays and poor documentation from Apple.
An interesting reality check for someone who imagined that users worshipped Apple from day one.

Apple barely exists, and probably would have already gone bankrupt if not for the genius-level engineering of Woz's disk drive, which was far simpler and more reliable than anything else on the market and gave Apple its first real edge over the competition. The Apple disk drive led to VisiCalc in 1979, and that's when Apple, and the personal computer industry in general, explodes into what we recognize it as today.
