@c64whiz Liza Loop is a teacher, the first female member of the Homebrew Computer Club, and one of the first to have the idea that computers could be used in schools for teaching. Woz wanted to give her an Apple I. Jobs said "only if you buy it" so Woz bought it and gifted it to her as soon as they had built their first batch. She received delivery before Paul Terrell got the rest. 50 years later, Paul had a batch of replicas made, and yesterday she got the first one.
