乔布斯的一项遗产即将被拍卖，这件东西就是苹果电脑的第一台原型机。这台 Apple I 目前仍可以正常工作，还被第一代主人改装过，可以说是一台“定制版”的 Apple I 。据拍卖行透露，这台Apple I的估价为30—50万美元，消费者还必须自己提供键盘，显示器和机箱。这部古老的计算机及其珍贵，苹果当年约生产了200台 Apple I ，当时的售价为666.66美元。

Ideals are like the stars----we never reach them,but like mariners,we chart our course by them.----Carl Schurz

A fully functioning Apple-1 being auctioned by Boston-based RR Auction in September is one of only 60 or so remaining of the original 200 that were designed and built by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in 1976 and 1977.

It shows the humble beginnings of Cupertino, California-based Apple, which recently became the world's first publicly traded company to be valued at $1 trillion. The Apple 1 originally sold for about $666. It could get $300,000 or more at auction.
