First Apple computer fetches £130,000 at auction
Quote:
One of the first batch of Apple personal computers has sold at auction in London for £133,250 ($210,000).
The Apple I came with its original packaging and a signed sales letter from Apple co-founder and current chief executive Steve Jobs.
The computer, one of only 200 of the model ever made, originally sold for $666.66 when it was introduced in 1976.
It was bought over the phone at Christie's by Italian businessman and private collector Marco Boglione.
