佳士得拍卖乔布斯第一台电脑，36.5万！

 　　A fully¹ operational Apple computer that company co-founder Steve Jobs sold out of his parents' garage in 1976 for $600 sold for $365,000 at Christie's on Thursday.

　　1976年的时候，史蒂夫乔布斯在他父母车库里把第一台苹果电脑以600美元的价格卖了出去。而在本周四，在佳士得拍卖行，这台电脑以36.5万美元的价格被拍走。

　　The Ricketts Apple-1 Personal Computer, named after its original owner Charles Ricketts, is the only known surviving Apple-1 documented as having been sold directly by Jobs to an individual from the Los Altos, California family home, according to the auction² house.

　　里基茨?苹果1个人计算机，是根据最初的主人查尔斯?里基茨的名字命名。拍卖行表示，这台电脑是有记载历史上乔布斯唯一直接卖给个人的电脑，并且还运行正常。当时的交易地点在乔布斯位于加州洛斯阿尔托斯的家中。

　　The price fell shy of Christie's estimate of $400,000 to $600,000 and was far less than the $905,000 paid by the Henry Ford³ organization in October for one of the computers. Fewer than 50 original Apple-1s are believed to be in existence of the few hundred originally produced.

　　佳士得预估这台电脑的拍卖价格为40万到60万美元之间，明显实际的拍卖价格要低一些。而在此前，亨利福特在十月份就以90万5千美金的价格拍走了同样一款电脑。苹果1电脑当时出厂了不到一百件，而如今尚存的不到50件。
