Tech Week



Apple has come up with a brand new computer the Apple II. It is worth a whopping range of $160,000 to $240,000. The computer is up for auction. The Apple-1 computer (original version) was built and sold by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder, for $666,000. It’s estimated that only 200 of these computers were produced and sold before Apple moved onto the next model, the Apple II.According to the auction Web site, this version of the Apple computer is number 82 of those made, and was hand built by Steve Wozniak and then “dispatched from the garage of Steve Jobs’ parents’ house. The computer is part of a Nov. 23 auction in London of rare books and manuscripts that will be available to any rich geek. The finished version of the computer is yet to be seen for the first time at the auction by peoples eyes.
