A rare piece of recent history will be auctioned for an amount that could reach $ 240,000: One of the first Apple computers with Steve Jobs working from his parents' garage.
The Apple-1, which made its debut in 1976 with a price of U.S. $ 666.66 and was also one of only 200 produced, Will be auctioned at Christie's in London on 23 November.
The Apple-1, the grandfather of iPod, iPhone and iPad, came with only 8 kilobytes of RAM, A tiny size when compared with standard reports on the computers of today.
"It was the first personal computer that had a 'motherboard' completely pre-assembled"Said Julian Wilson, Christie's. "It is true that the Apple-1 came with no keyboard, no monitor, no power supply and nothing to cover it, but in principle, work directly from the box."
Items to be auctioned include original packaging, instruction manuals and a letter signed by the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs.
"The manuals are original company logo, which showed (Isaac) Newton sitting under an apple tree"Said Wilson. "The iconic Apple logo had not yet been adopted."
