either go online to eTrade, or some similar company; or go in person to a stock broker.

I would use ThinkorSwim. You can use either their downloadable software or the web-based version (wireless PDA available too) You can choose from a per share or flat fee trading model and they offer FREE trading support and FREE stock and option trading classes.

I would also avoid buying stock from one company... its too risky.. instead look into buying growth stock mutual funds...
mutual funds spread risk out over many companies, so if one company loses some money, you won't notice as much...
but with a single companies stock, if prices dive, you tend to lose more... can you say Enron? Everyone had all their eggs in one basket, in that one stock.. and lost everything when the company tanked.

Open an account with a brokerage, either in person or online.
Deposit the money you want to invest in this brokerage account.
Tell the brokerage what you want to buy and at what price, and they will buy if for you if they can get it at the price you specify.
It will cost the price of a share times the amount of shares purchased plus a commission charge for the brokerage.

Just get an online trading broker, Scottrade is simple----then look up the symbol for Apple (aapl) and select how many shares you want.
There is a $7 dollar fee for the transaction.
It will take you about a week to get your account up and running with some $ in it to invest.
Some companies offer "drip" shares which is a direct way to invest with no comissions.
