The original Apple I computer to be auctioned at Christie's

Christie's auctions Apple-1

It is your choice about what to do with $ 150,000. buy 150 MacBook starts – the future of Apple computing – or buy a Apple-1 — the birth of Apple computing. An original Apple-1, including the original wrapper, and a letter signed by Steve Jobs, will be auctioned at Christie's in London on 23rd november. originally sold for $ 666.66 (you had to include your soul with this sale?), the computer is expected auction for about $ 150,000 to $ 250,000. 1976 computer is 1 of the estimated 200 produced by jobs and Steve Wozniak.

Apple-1 is not 100% pure, but. Chris Davies on Slashgear reports that, "from the description, Apple-1 has been strayed a of its original owner.There is apparently a "breadboard area with some subsequent contact with subsequent soldering, cables and electrical band" on the back, but you'll still 6502 microprocessor, printed circuit boards with 4 rows A-D and columns 1-18, three capacitors, heat sink, a cartridge board connector, 8 K bytes of memory, a keyboard interface, and video terminal. "

Personally, I'm just excited about Apple-1 cassette Interface.There was nothing quite like to play a game or application and waits for cartridge is loaded it, and wait and wait.I wonder how long it would take to upload Adobe CS5 of cartridge?

If things don't work as Christies expects and our offer of $ 17 WINS, we'll keep trade a giveaway here on Appletell … or an eMate. I love these things.
