The two sides had another disagreement on cleaning up the garage, so Hans asked the lawyer to write on it that they would throw away the garbage in the garage, and as long as it was not destroyed into the wall, Ebel could not pursue them.

After the contract is signed and the rent is paid, Li Du and the others can move in.

As soon as the homeowner left, Hans immediately asked impatiently: "Hi, what's in the garage?"

Li Du opened the ku door, went in and opened a ragged wooden box, and said, "It's this, I don't know if it was left by the tenant before or if Eble forgot to be here."

When the wooden box opened, a simple and shabby small machine appeared inside, with a large butt monitor that had been eliminated, a old-fashioned keyboard, a motherboard, chip and other things.

Among them, the keyboard inside is very personalized and has no edge protection cover, just like some plastic buttons embedded in a plastic board, which looks very primitive.

Obviously, this is an ancient computer, like a big butt monitor, which has been eliminated by the times.

It is worth noting that the accessories of this ancient computer contain a very famous modern logo: an apple that was bitten by a bite!

Hans' eyes lit up after seeing this and shouted: "Apple-1?! The first generation of Apple? Jobs and Steve Gary Wozniak's apple-1?!"

On December 8, 1975, Paul Trail opened the United States in Mountain View, California, and is also the world's first computer retail chain.

In 1976, two young people brought their own computers to visit this computer retail store. They wanted to launch a product they designed carefully to make some money.

At that time, no one could have thought that the wheels of history were rolling at this moment, and the legendary story in the history of science and technology unfolded here.

These two young people are Jobs and Steve Gary Wozniak. They called their machine Apple-1, and the ancestor of the Apple series is what they saw.

Hans knew the value of Apple-1. He carefully picked up the motherboard, chip, and monitor and looked at it happily, saying, "It's great, we have picked up the baby."

Sophie asked with a puzzled look, "Is this a part?"

Hans turned around and said, "Yes, the apple-1 is a DIY kit. After the customer buys it, he has to solder the corresponding chip to the motherboard himself, and then match the power supply, motherboard and monitor."

Sophie exclaimed: "Wow, that's a big project. If I sell it to me, I won't be able to assemble it. They will be ruined in my hands."

Li Du said thoughtfully: "Maybe the people who bought this computer are the same as you think. They will not assemble it and waste it."

Seeing Hans and the Luguan fiddling with the computer parts, Sophie asked curiously: "Can it still work? Apple-1 should have been born for many years. If it has never been useful, it may not be used, right?"

"Whether it can be used or not, this thing is valuable, at least enough to pay our rent. If it can be used, it would be even better." Hans said enthusiastically.

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

At that time, Jobs promoted Trail to Trail, and Trail expressed his interest, 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 very small at that time, Jobs and others had to sell it themselves, so they had this part-type apple-1, which was specially sold to enthusiasts at that time.

The difference between the two is that the latter is that Jobs sells the latter, selling parts, and is equipped with wooden chassis, keyboard and power supply. In order to get more profits, the former only sells the host and monitor, while the others need to be matched by customers.

The apple-1 in Li Du and the others' hands is the apple-1 made by Jobs and the others for sale. It can be seen from the keyboard without a shell that matches it.

How many apple-1s did they sell themselves? A total of 200 units were produced, and 25 units were not sold. The apple-1 assembly products appeared on the market were 175!

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

However, for the current market, this number is too small, which makes Apple-1 too precious.

After Li Du discovered Apple-1, he took advantage of the gap to search online. According to online messages, Apple counted the registration records of Apple-1, and only 66 units remained in the world.

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

However, since the release of Appleii in 1977, Apple users have surged. In order to relieve the pressure on Wozniak, Apple has set up a dedicated technical support team.

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

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

During the cleaning, the official saw a welding point on the motherboard and said, "It's not that it has been used, but someone has used it, and later it was removed."

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

"As long as it can be used, who cares who has used it?" Hans replied.

After cleaning it up, the two of them used the telephone welding and reassembled the computer.

In Li Du's opinion, this is a very complicated process, but for Hans and Lu Guan, it is too simple. They found a tutorial online, and followed the tutorial and assembled building blocks easily.

Plug in the charger, Hans rubbed his hands and said expectantly: "Come on, let's... damn it!"

The official pressed the switch all at once. He originally wanted to experience this experience. Apple-1 was one of the gifts that people of their age wanted to receive most in their childhood.

The switch was activated, and a green light at the bottom of the small screen suddenly lit up. Soon, characters on the screen began to jump!

Seeing this scene, Hans and the rooster were excitedly clapping their high-highs and shouting: "Yeah, long live! It can be used! This is an apple-1 that can be used!"

Apple-1 started running the program, but the speed was very slow. Li Du asked: "Why haven't the computer turned on for so long?"

Hans waved his hand and said, "It's a bit patient. This is basi language, and it's cumbersome and complicated. Give it some time."

As the number of characters jumping on the screen increases, the classic Apple-1 black interface appears in front of them.

Hans clenched his fist and shouted, "yes! At least $600,000, I've got it!"
Chapter completed!
