Old Apple 1 Up For Auction, Expected To Go For $160,000+
vanstinator was one of several readers to point out that Christie's is holding an auction for one of the original Apple 1 machines, complete with a manual, the original shipping box, and the letter from Steve Jobs to the owner. The invoice says the computer was purchased on December 7th, 1976, with an Apple cassette interface card, for a total price of $741.66. The auction house expects it to sell for over $160,000.
only a damn fool with way too much money would pay 160 thousand dollars for it, i would not give more than 50 bucks for an obsolete computer even if it was in pristine condition.
Politics is Treachery, Religion is Brainwashing
Yes, but unlike all other Apple computers, this one is also over-hyped and over-rated.

Of course, without the smug-ass attitude that comes out-of-the-box with the Mac...where would you be?
This is why every douche who wants Macs in public education or enterprise needs to be punched in the face.
