Hopefully a museum gets it...

First 'Apple-1' computer sold by Steve Jobs on sale for £150k | Mail Online



The first ever Apple computer that company founder Steve Jobs sold from his parents' garage is up for sale - for a whopping £150,000.

There were about 200 examples of the original 'Apple-1' that were launched in 1976 and only a few survive today.

They were the forerunners of the iPod, iPad, iPhone and everything else that Apple has produced over the years.

This example will be the first ever to be sold by a major auction house when it goes under the hammer at Christie's of London.

It proves the growing interest in early computer technology and highlights how quickly home computing has advanced in the last 30 years.

I bet if they had a special edition of that same computer for today's Macs, all the hipsters would buy it.

They wouldn't be able to keep them in stock.
