Other have noted good information, so I won't rehash.

However, if you feel you must respond, feel free to give my name and 
email, and he can Google for me, for I am a CBM zealot.

In light of my qualifications as a CBM fanboi, I will note that KIM-1 
was impressive in its price only, little else. 

The Apple I did not require a Terminal, the KIM-1 did
Apple I had 4kB RAM std, KIM-1 had 1kB + 64 bytes.

As well, I think the expansion options on the Apple I were more extensive.

There are others, of course, but to be fair, it's an apples to oranges 
comparison.  Woz built the Apple-I as a machine, Peddle made the KIM-1 
to show off MOS' new CPU.
