The computer was among 175 of those sold by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak
from their production in a garage in Silicon Valley in the early days of Apple
in 1976 and 1977.
1976至1977年，苹果公司创业早期，其创始人史蒂夫?乔布斯和史蒂夫?沃兹尼亚克在硅谷的车库里生产了175台Apple
Apple-1，该拍卖电脑便是这175台中的其一。
The model originally went for $666.66 when it was sold by the Byte Shop
computer store in Mountain View, California in the 1970s.
上世纪70年代，加州山景城的Byt电脑商店出售这款电脑时，其售价为666.66美元。
Jobs and Wozniak initially designed the Apple-1 as a bare circuit board to
be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, but Byte Shop owned
Paul Terrell agreed to buy 50 if they were fully assembled and did not require
soldering by the buyer.
乔布斯和沃兹尼亚克最初把Apple-1设计成一个光秃秃的电路板，作为一个工具包出售，由电子爱好者自己完成组装，但是保罗.特雷尔开的Byte
Shop公司同意购买50台，前提是它们完全组装好，不需要顾客再动手。
According to RR, the computer sold this week was restored to original
running condition in June and included the original Apple-1 board, a cassette
interface, keyboard and other equipment.
据RR公司称，本周售出的这台电脑在6月份恢复了原出厂运行状态，其中包括Apple-1原装电路板、盒式磁带接口、键盘和一些其他设备。
The selling price was far from a record, however: another Apple-1 computer
went for $905,000 in 2014.
这个价格是不是已远远打破了纪录?不过，它还不是最贵的，2014年的一台Apple-1成交价高达90.5万美元。 |
