The Apple 1

admin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:19:00 +0000

The first Apple Computer is known as Apple-1. In 1976 only 200 units were produced (150 were withdrawn from the market). They were designed and hand-built by Steve Wozniak and distributed in collaboration with Steve Jobs. It was a kind of dream machine for many people, hard to find and even more to get. As a matter of fact, Apple 1 was the first computer in history providing a built-in computer terminal circuitry for easy and user friendly connection to a monitor and keyboard. The Apple I on display has been sold together with unique original documents and packaging in November 2010 at Christie’s auction house and is now part of a larger collection in Turin, Italy.
