And that thing is useless without some supporting hardware. It is nothing more than a mother board with a connector on the side. There is not even a place to plug in the little circuit board shown on the side...What ever that is. No keyboard. Just a power transformer. Where is the output for a monitor?

You're right, it's a lame hack, it'll never sell. And to think, a couple of long-haired stoner hippies want to make a company out of it - how naive can you get?

We don't need no stinkin' monitor!
The Apple 1 connected right to a TV. Monitors back then cost at least $700.
Most people who would have bought one would buy a keyboard, but you could pickup one of them surplus cheap. The storage device was a standard cassette recorder. The connectors are there. Steve Wozniak included them. You just have to know where they are. The documentation had that information there.
