An original Apple computer built by firm co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in 1976 has sold for $500,000 at a recent John Moran Auctioneers sale. The still-working, rare Hawaiian koa wood-cased Apple-1 is one of only 200 made and sold in kit form. The computer has had only two owners — a college professor and his student to whom he sold the machine for $650. The sale included user manuals and Apple software on two cassette tapes. In 1976, original Apple-1 computers sold for $666.66.
