Michal Marek One of the rare specimens from the very first series of fifty Apple I personal computers was auctioned at a New York auction house for the astronomical sum of $905. These fifty computers were assembled by Steve Wozniak in the garage of the Jobs family in Los Altos, California in 1976.
The computer is still functional, and an auction house called Bonhams expected to fetch between $300 and half a million dollars for such a rare piece. However, expectations were greatly exceeded. Apple I was bought by the Henry Ford Organization, which paid an incredible 905 thousand dollars for it, which is almost 20 million crowns.
Henry Ford's organization wants to display the Apple I in its museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The president of the organization said the following about it: "Apple I was not only a pioneer, but a key product to start the digital revolution."
Interest in the first pieces of the Apple I personal computer was initially low, also because of the price tag set at $666,66. The turning point was when a batch of fifty Apple I computers was ordered by Paul Terrell, a businessman and owner of the Byte Shop network. He managed to sell all fifty machines, and Jobs and Wozniak produced another 150 of these computers.
According to the conjectures of experts, approximately another fifty pieces could have been preserved to this day. Another copy of this famous computer was also sold the year before last at the Sothesby's auction house. That's when the winning amount climbed to $374.
that Mr. Ford who bid for it didn't buy something with android. It would have much more performance and for better money and as a bonus an open system, that is if he rooted it
I had fun :D
I guess I don't really understand why you don't really contribute here, when it doesn't interest anyone :-)
but that's probably your android mindrak...
Will they start Yosemite on it?
