First Apple computer sold

One of the first computers ever built by Steve Jobs and Seve Wozniak was sold Tuesday as part of a 10-item lot of iconic pieces of Apple history.

The Apple-1 machine was one of 200 computers designed by Wozniak and hand-built by Jobs in Jobs's parent's garage in 1976.

The computer, sold in online auction by Christie's, was purchased by Italian "collector club" Bolaffi for $387,750.

It was signed by Wozniak and is likely to be in the in the first batch 25 Apple-1 computers made, since it does not have a diamond NTI logo etched in the front copper layer that showed up on most of the Apple-1 machines.

The computer originally was priced at $666.66 and was just a motherboard, without a keyboard, transformer, or video display. Wozniak soon designed the Apple II, released in 1977, which would become one of the first mass-produced personal computers.
