Apple's first logo & a co-founder who never used an apple product

Apple co-founder has never owned an Apple product.

Apple’s third co-founder, Ronald Wayne, left the $750 billion company 41 years ago.
He is 86 years old & currently lives in a small house in Pahrump, Nevada. He’s never owned an Apple product and mailed Motherboard/Vice a letter containing a photo of himself after agreeing to be interviewed.

“I have never been heavily involved in computers,” Wayne told Motherboard. “I was a self-taught engineer for the better part of 60 years.”

Wayne & Steve Jobs worked together at Atari and then joined him at Apple.

During his brief time he wrote the manual to Apple 1 and created the company’s first logo– an illustration of Newton sitting underneath an apple tree.

“I knew at the time it was not a legit 20th century logo, it was a 19th century logo, but it was fun,” Wayne said. “Everything we did in the beginning was for fun.”

Wayne sold his Apple shares for $800 after the company was incorporated in 1976.
He’s published two books including his autobiography “Adventures of an Apple Founder.”
He invests in gold and silver and sells collectors stamps. He says he never owned an iPhone or anything; he only has a cheap TracFone he keeps in his car “for emergencies” and didn’t own a computer until the mid-90s. He says an interviewer once gifted him an iPad which he in-turn gave to his adopted son!

“Do I regret selling my share of Apple? No, that has been my answer ever since day one and will be my answer until I die,” he said. “If I had stayed with Apple, I would have wound up the richest man in the cemetery.”
