Production was discontinued on September 30, 1977, after the Jintroduction of its successor, the Apple II, which Byte magazine referred to as part of the '1977 Trinity' of personal computing (along with the PET 2001 from Commodore Business Machines and the TRS-80 Model I from Tandy Corporation). Wozniak demonstrated the first prototype in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California. The Apple I was Apple's first product, and to finance its creation, Jobs sold his only motorized means of transportation, a VW Microbus, for a few hundred dollars (Wozniak later said that Jobs planned instead to use his bicycle to get around), and Wozniak sold his HP-65 calculator for $500. The idea of selling the computer came from Wozniak's friend and co-founder Steve Jobs.
