Wow! a the Apple-1 is estimated to go for £100,000 - £150,000

I wonder if there are any artifacts from todays companies that we should be grabbing up

Now I see why - it comes with the optional cassette interface and BASIC on a tape :)

Seriously it is an exceptional artifact: original invoice (Salesperson: STEVEN) and a typed note from Steven Jobs explaining how to hook-up a TV and keyboard: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/ZoomImage.aspx?image=/lot...

I can imagine one of the 1st gen iphones fetching a few quid down the line.
