A fully operational Apple computer that company co-founder Steve Jobs sold out of his parents' garage in 1976 for $600 sold for $365,000 at Christie's on Thursday.
1976年的時(shí)候,史蒂夫喬布斯在他父母車庫里把第一臺(tái)蘋果電腦以600美元的價(jià)格賣了出去。而在本周四,在佳士得拍賣行,這臺(tái)電腦以36.5萬美元的價(jià)格被拍走。
The Ricketts Apple-1 Personal Computer, named after its original owner Charles Ricketts, is the only known surviving Apple-1 documented as having been sold directly by Jobs to an individual from the Los Altos, California family home, according to the auction house.
里基茨?蘋果1個(gè)人計(jì)算機(jī),是根據(jù)最初的主人查爾斯?里基茨的名字命名。拍賣行表示,這臺(tái)電腦是有記載歷史上喬布斯唯一直接賣給個(gè)人的電腦,并且還運(yùn)行正常。當(dāng)時(shí)的交易地點(diǎn)在喬布斯位于加州洛斯阿爾托斯的家中。
The price fell shy of Christie's estimate of $400,000 to $600,000 and was far less than the $905,000 paid by the Henry Ford organization in October for one of the computers. Fewer than 50 original Apple-1s are believed to be in existence of the few hundred originally produced.
佳士得預(yù)估這臺(tái)電腦的拍賣價(jià)格為40萬到60萬美元之間,明顯實(shí)際的拍賣價(jià)格要低一些。而在此前,亨利福特在十月份就以90萬5千美金的價(jià)格拍走了同樣一款電腦。蘋果1電腦當(dāng)時(shí)出廠了不到一百件,而如今尚存的不到50件。
