Within a month, a quote was issued for parts to be delivered to the Byte Shop, with payment due upon arrival. To meet this deadline, all the necessary help was gathered, including Jobs and Wozniak, along with Daniel Kottke and Jobs's pregnant sister, Patty, as well as his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Holmes, who had left a cult. They utilized various spaces in the house, converting a bedroom, the garage, and the kitchen table into work areas.

This collective effort was focused on a crucial project that had to align with the timeline. Each individual played a role in developing their vision, showcasing the collaborative spirit that characterized the early days of their venture. Walter Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs highlights this intense period of creativity and determination from the group.
