can you reword this please

The name Apple Computer was chosen late one afternoon as Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak, Apple's founders, faced the deadline for filing a Fictitious Name Statement, part of the business licensing procedures. After spiting out names back & forth with Wozniak for hours, Jobs looked at the apple he was eating & decided that, unless he or Woz arrived at something better by five o'clock, they would call the company Apple. Five o'clock came & went; Apple was the new company's name.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II & reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals & consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.
Apple Computer, Inc. is largely responsible for the enormous growth of the personal computer industry in the 20th century. The introduction of the Macintosh line of personal computers in 1984 established the company as an innovator in industrial design whose products became renowned for their intuitive ease of use. Though battered by bad decision-making during the 1990s, Apple continues to exude the same enviable characteristics in the 21st century that catapulted the company toward fame during the 1980s. The company designs, manufactures, & markets personal computers, software, & peripherals, concentrating on lower-cost, uniquely designed computers such as iMAC & Power Macintosh models.
Origins
Steve Wozniak, then 26 years old, & Steve Jobs, 21, both college dropouts, founded Apple in April 1976. Their partnership began several years earlier when Wozniak, a talented, self-taught electronics engineer, began building boxes that allowed him to make long-distance phone calls for free. The pair sold several hundred such boxes.
In 1976 Wozniak was working on another box--the Apple I computer, without keyboard or power supply… for a computer hobbyist club. Jobs & Wozniak sold their most valuable possessions, a van and two calculators, raising $1,300 with which to start a company. After a few years pasted most visible indication of Job’s return was unveiled in August 1998. Distressed by his company's lack of popular computers that retailed for less than $2,000, Jobs tapped Apple's resources &, ten months after the project began, unveiled the massively successful iMAC, a sleek and colorful computer that embodied Apple's skill in design and functionality.
Because of Job’s restorative efforts, Apple exited the 1990s as a pared-down version of its former self, but, importantly, a profitable company once again. Annual sales, which totaled $11.5 billion in 1995, stood at $5.9 billion in 1998, from which the company recorded a profit of $309 million. In 1999, sales grew a modest 3.2 percent, but the newfound health of the company was evident in a 94 percent gain in net income, as Apple's profits swelled to $601 million. Further, Apples' stock mustered a remarkable rebound, climbing 140 percent to $99 per share in 1999. By the decade's end, 'interim' was dropped from Job’s corporate title, signaling Job’s return on a permanent basis & fueling optimism that Apple could look forward to a decade of vibrant & consistent growth.

Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, William Marshal & Robert Apple established Apple in Cupertino, California on April 1, 1976 & incorporated January 3, 1977.
