Once again, the two sides disagreed in cleaning up the garage. Hans asked the lawyer to write on it that the garbage in the garage should be thrown away by them. As long as it didn't damage the wall, Ebble could not hold them accountable.

After signing the contract and paying the rent, Li Du and they can move in.

As soon as the owner left, Hans couldn't wait to ask: "Hey, what's in the garage?"

Li Dura opened the door of the library, went in and opened a tattered wooden box, and said, "That's it. I don't know if it was left by the previous tenant or if Abel forgot to be here."

The wooden box opened, and a set of shabby little machines appeared. It had a big **** monitor that had been eliminated, an old-fashioned keyboard, and a motherboard and chips.

Among them, the keyboard inside is very individual, without edge protection cover, it is like some plastic keys inlaid on a plastic plate, it looks very primitive.

Obviously, this is an old computer. Like the big-ass monitor, it has been eliminated by the times.

It is worth noting that the accessories of this ancient computer have a famous symbol in modern times: an apple that has been taken a sip!

When Hans saw it, his eyes lit up and he shouted, "Apple-1 ?! Apple of the first generation? Jobs and Steve Gary Wozniak's Apple-1 ?!"

On December 8, 1975, Paul Terrell opened the nation's first computer retail chain in Mountain View, California.

In 1976, two young people visited this computer retail store with a computer they had tinkered with. They wanted to launch a well-designed product in order to make some money.

At that time, no one could have imagined that the wheel of history is accelerating at this moment, and the legendary story in the history of science and technology begins here.

These two young people are Steve Jobs and Steve Garry-Wozniak. They call their machines Apple-1. The grandfather of the Apple series is what they see.

Hans knew the value of Apple-1. He carefully picked up the motherboard, chip, and display, and said happily, "It's great, we've picked up the baby."

Sophie asked, "Is this a part?"

Hans replied: "Yes, Apple-1 is a DIY kit. After buying it, customers have to solder the corresponding chips to the motherboard, and then match the power supply, motherboard and display."

Sophie exclaimed: "Wow, that's really a big project. If it were sold to me, I wouldn't assemble it, they would be in my hands."

Li Du thoughtfully said, "Perhaps the people who bought this computer are just like you think. They won't assemble it and make it a waste."

Watching Hans and the **** fiddle with this set of computer parts, Sophie asked with curiosity: "Can it still be used? Apple-1 should have been born for many years. If it hasn't been used, it may not work?

"Whether it works or not, it's very valuable, at least enough to pay our rent. If it works, it's even better." Hans said cheerfully.

Apple-1 is very valuable, he is the only limited edition of Apple's mainstream products.

At the time Jobs was selling to Terrell, Terrell was very interested, but told Jobs that he wanted a well-assembled computer.

So, as Terrell wished, Jobs provided him with 50 fully assembled Apple-1s.

But because the computer market was still small at the time, Jobs had to sell it by themselves, and had this type of Apple-1, which was sold to enthusiasts at the time.

The difference between the two is that the latter is sold by Jobs themselves, selling parts, and equipped with a wooden case, keyboard and power supply. In order to get more profits, the former only sells mainframes and monitors. Others need to be allocated by customers themselves.

Li Du's Apple-1 in this hand is the Apple-1 that Jobs made and sold for themselves. It can be seen from the keyboard without the shell.

How much Apple-1 did they sell at the time? A total of 200 units were produced, and in the end 25 units were not sold. The number of Apple-1 assembled products on the market was 175 units!

This number is quite good for the Apple-1, which has not been on the market for a long time, and strengthens Steve Jobs' determination to continue.

However, for the current market, this number is too small, and it seems that Apple-1 is too precious.

After Li Du previously found Apple-1, he searched online while taking a gap. According to network news, Apple Corps counted the registered Apple-1 records, and there were only 66 units in the world.

This is because when Apple was just starting to develop, the only person who could provide technical support to Apple-1 was Wozniak. At that time, there were few machines and Wozniak was able to get around.

But since the release of AppleII in 1977, Apple users have skyrocketed. In order to ease the pressure on Wozniak, Apple has set up a dedicated technical support team.

In order to shift the direction of technical support, Apple strongly encourages users to upgrade their devices. Many Apple-1 devices are also destroyed as users upgrade, resulting in a further reduction in the number of machines in the world.

Hans and the **** took out the parts and cleaned them, covered with a thick layer of dust. Fortunately, the weather in Phoenix was hot and dry, and the machine was not corroded by moisture. This was the most important thing.

When cleaning up ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ the **** saw a solder joint on the motherboard and said, "It's not unused, someone used it, and later it was taken apart."

Li Du asked: "Is there any loss to its value?"

"As long as it works, who cares who uses it?" Hans replied.

After cleaning it up, the two people took the call and soldered it, and reassembled the computer.

In Li Du's opinion, this is a very complicated process, but for Hans and eunuchs, it is too simple. They found tutorials from the Internet and followed the tutorials to assemble the building blocks easily.

Plugging in the charger, Hans rubbed his hands expectantly, "Come on, let's ... **** it!"

The **** suddenly switched on and off. He wanted to experience this experience. Apple-1 was one of the most wanted gifts for people of their age in childhood.

The switch is activated, and a green light ‘Teng’ at the bottom of the small screen lights up at once. Soon, some characters on the screen start to jump!

Seeing this scene, Hans and the eunuchs gave high-five excitement and shouted, "Yeah, long live! It works! This is a working Apple-1!"

Apple-1 started running the program, but it was very slow. Li Du asked, "Why didn't I turn on for so long?"

Hans waved his hand: "A little patience. This is BASIC. It's cumbersome and cumbersome. Give it some time."

As the characters beating on the screen increased, finally, the classic Apple-1 black interface appeared in front of them.

Hans shouted with a fist: "Yes! At least 600,000 dollars, I'm here!"

600,000 is the current market price of an Apple-1 that can be used. At the beginning, it was priced at 666.66 US dollars. Now it is worth thousands of times!
