Apple were never about home computers

According to Wikipedia Steve Jobs' first TV interview was in 1980 in Ireland with Pat Kenny. He talks about the apple being sent up on the space shuttle.

Pat:'Do you actually believe that every home, in the short term at least, will have a personal computer?'

Steve:'We base our theory on the fact that we make personal computers that can be used irrespective of location. The home just happens to be one of the locations apples can be used in'

This shows a fair amount of ambition given it was 4 years before the Macintosh was released.
