First Apple-1 computer signed by Steve Jobs sells at auction for huge sum – and it still works… – The Sun
THIS working Apple-1 computer signed by company founder Steve Jobs made £290,000 at auction.
The gizmo, one of the very first made by the tech giant in 1976, came with its instruction manual.
It was sold by RR Auction in Boston, US.
Boss Bobby Livingston said: “It is not only a marvel of early computing ingenuity but also launched one of the most successful companies in the world today.”
The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve 'Woz' Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists.
They eventually took the project further and built them into a complete personal computer.
Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them.
