If you're interested in owning a piece of history, Sotheby's is current auctioning off one of the six existing and working Apple I computers which is expected to fetch a staggering $180,000. For those unfamiliar, the Apple I computer was developed by both Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak back in 1976. It was demoed at the Homebrew Computer Club and was eventually sold to Paul Terrel who decided to place an order for 50 units at $500 each, which was considered to be a lot of money back then.
