clicky

The first ever Apple computer that company founder Steve Jobs sold from his parents' garage is up for sale - for a whopping £150,000.

There were about 200 examples of the original 'Apple-1' that were launched in 1976 and only a few survive today.

They were the forerunners of the iPod, iPad, iPhone and everything else that Apple has produced over the years.

Some Mac tear-down sites will tell you that the components are worth about $1.50 and proceed to bitch about the markup.
