Woman tries to recycle $200k computer
It was one of only 200 Apple I's that were "assembled by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ron Wayne in 1976."
http://static2.businessinsider.com/i...-apple-1-2.jpg An Apple-1 computer, built in 1976, is displayed during the First Bytes: Iconic Technology From the Twentieth Century, an online auction featuring vintage tech products at the Computer History Museum on June 24, 2013, in Mountain View, California. A recycling center in the Silicon Valley is looking for a woman who dropped off an old Apple computer that turned out to be a collectible item worth $200,000. The computer was inside boxes of electronics that she had cleaned out from her garage after her husband died, said Victor Gichun, the vice president of Clean Bay Area. |
Title fail: she successfully recycled the computer. It has been converted to profit for the company and a collected item for some geek.
In her defense, it looks like a pile of trash and aside from collector value it is not quite as functional as most piles of trash. |
