For a better timeline, see http://applemuseum.bott.org/sections/history.html

I played with my first pc (a Commodore Pet) in Dec. 1977. All the computer introductions along the time line are accurate. (although to call a machine 4 1/2 time faster, with over 10 times the memory address space as a "rather pitiful computer" is kind of stretching things....
Please read what I wrote, or better yet, the timeline you quote.

I wrote that Jobs was forced out of the LISA project in 1982.

First CEO of Apple was Michael Scott (1977-1981)
Second was Mike Markkula (1981 -1983)
Third was John Sculley formerly of PepsiCo (1983-1993)

Jobs was not CEO of Apple (after IPO) until 1997
