I had one of those back in the late 70's but I guess mine wouldn't fetch the same premium as being in Steve Job's garage.

Interesting. Thank you for the link!

67K for a broken down 40 year old computer.......you have to be kidding!

What do you think people say about collecting round metal disks with designs or other devices stamped in/on them?

Thanks for the link, I wouldn't have known about this otherwise. Not that I'll be bidding, it's just neat.

And I thought modern Apple stuff was overpriced.

For those super geeks...this is the holy grail.... Cheers, RickO

Cool!

1976 doesn't seem all that long ago. But it is amazing how that little box and others like it have changed the world.

The brains of a calculator sent people to the moon in the 60's

This is a pretty good long term investment, IMO.

The number of wealthy tech guys who will lust over early computers will one day drive these to 7-figures.

Now that is cool.

A new Apple 1 in July 1976 was $667 (actually $666.66) which translates to about $2821 today. Yeah ... not a bad investment at all.

Nothing OT here -- I process all my coin pictures, maintain my inventory, and stay tuned to THIS forum on my trusty Apple, Mac. (First vintage Macs easily sell upwards of $1k plus)

The first Apple 1 at $75k-- WOW! Thanks for sharing.

I've been a Mac enthusiast for 30 years ... but I would rather have the inflation-adjusted $2500 cost of the first Mac than the computer itself.

Edited to add ... take a break from devouring the Mega Red and read Steven Levy's book "Insanely Great." It's an interesting look at the development of the Mac. While not high drama, it's fun for those who remember the early machines.
