The man never did himself any favours. Difficult to work with, created a ton of enemies and relied on others to imply expertise in his field. Quite similar to Steve Jobs now that I think of it.
I think Zenith and Compaq made PC's here as well for a while. Atari and later Namco made arcade machines in Tipperary. Ireland still exports 6 billion quids worth of computer chips a year.
@@ShapeyFiend You had DEC and Wang making minis here-in Galway and Limerick-which were both literally or figuratively taken over by Compaq and Dell. Wang made some PCs too, incl first I owned personally. There were a bunch of manufacturers around Dublin too, of course. Memory is hazy, but I think Packard Bell were there. And of course the huge Intel plant in Leixlip.
Steve Jobs, Apple 🍎 Computers in Ireland 1980. Steve Jobs was a Buddist, oh, well. lol RIP 🙏Not that I am against any faith or non-faith , I am not. Just technocrats I am concerned about and Coorperations making all the money. I am not against wealth, per say, only what they make with tax shelters, and tax breaks, while the rest of us get drippings they choose to leave for us. That is not looking so well in 2022. THANKS AGAIN♥️
He was vegetarian and follower of Neem Karoli Baba. He credit the Hare Krsna's for his one good meal of the week for which he walked miles for their free vegetarian Sunday Feast.

According to Jobs' biographer (Walter Isaacson) Jobs chose the name because “it sounded fun, spirited and not intimidating...plus, it would get us ahead of Atari in the phone book.” But Woz has yet another story of the origin of the name so who knows?

Zing!
i'm not an apple fan, but it would nice to have a new computer made in ireland 🤗 i never knew this before, regards
I think Dell has a manufacturing plant in Limerick idk how likely you are to get a computer actually made there though
If you live in Europe, Middle East or Africa, Dell's Limerick plant will make you a nice PC :)

He wanted to appear above computer other manufactor names in the directory so it had to start with A.
