Woz's Apple-1 PCB

Imagesource: https://techtelegraph.co.uk/

It is amazing, what amounts of energy can be released just by nostalgia. Somehow we humans tend not only to glorify the past in excess (guilty), but also to hold on to it in the effect.

But which nostalgic person would still be interested in a piece of broken PCB from the 70s with a few logic chips on it? Probably almost no one. But if this piece of PCB comes from Los Altos California, and was personally soldered together by TheWoz and used in the ByteShop for the first demo, then we are not only talking about a volcanic eruption of nostalgia, no, we are also talking about mountains of money, which change hands at an auction. 🤑

Something like that is about to happen. Tech journalist Josh Norem has gathered the details around the piece of Apple-1 PCB and published it in his current article for extreme tech.

I am more than curious about the final price!
