One of the first computers of Steve Jobs - Apple 1 will sell for 315 000 dollars

Currently, there are only eight copies of fully operational versions of Apple 1 around the world.  Steve Wozniak, as well as Steve Jobs created their PC in 1976. Totally one hundred and fifty such models were produced. Some copies were sold to friends, as well as to family members. Buyer Apple 1 offers original documentation, as well as records of phone calls, in which there are voices of the company's founders.

Personal computer Apple 1 designed and created manually Wozniak. Sales of the device Wozniak began to be carried out jointly with Jobs in 1976 using the Byte Shop network. The first fifty copies were purchased by a retailer. Other devices were implemented through an intermediary. Apple 1 originally could be bought for 666.66 dollars. Such a price was established due to the fact that Steve Wozniak was fond of repeating figures. In this case, buyers received directly the motherboard, although at that time there were already usual sales of PCs with a keyboard, as well as a monitor.

The first Apple customers needed to find their own power supply, monitor, keyboard, cassette tape recorder almost independently. A rare model, released in the number of sixty units, having the original NTI sign, was presented in its entirety. The PC is now ready for use.
