A prototype computer Apple-1 38 years old was auctioned for $ 365,000 , approximately 295 thousand euro.
It’s not much, considering that other Apple-1 have been sold for nearly $ 1 million. the seller has been very well pleased, because he had an expectation of selling his Apple-1 for no less than $ 400,000 (600 000 was his highest expectation). These days, however, even $ 365,000′m not to be thrown away!
The computer was sold at auction was sold for $ 600 from Steve Jobs himself in 1976, the years when the garage parents of the inventor was doing to make Apple its first steps.
Who won the auction has done a great deal, because along with the Apple-1 also takes home ‘ check payable to Charles Ricketts , the former owner of the machine, to Apple, where it says: “Purchased in June 1976 by Steve Jobs in his parent’s garage in Los Altos.”
The Apple I – the first computer produced by Apple Computer – was the first in a long series of computers sold by what is now one of the largest computer companies in the world. It was presented in April 1976 Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto and was marketed from July 1976 to August 1977 for a total production of about 200 individuals.
To get a computer operated was necessary to add the Apple 1 power supply, keyboard and display. It is for this reason that many Apple I were assembled wood bodies: as there is a market at the time of holiday assembly in just a computer as there is today, users if they made for themselves and often used the wood.
