In the 1970s, a young man named Steve Wozniak made something no one had ever built before. He created a new kind of computer. It became known as the Apple-1. Since then, the age of the personal computer had begun. 

Christian Overland is president of The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Last month, museum bought an Apple-1 computer at a public auction in New York. They paid $905,000 for it, which is one of the first 50 built. And it is still working. In May of last year, an Apple-1 sold for $671,000 in Germany.

In 1976, Steve Wozniak and his high school friend Steve Jobs offered to sell 50 Apple-1 computers to a California store for $500 each. The store sold each one for about $667. The two young men built the 50 computers in 30 days at Mr. Jobs’ boyhood home. Mr. Wozniak and Mr. Jobs later created Apple Computer. It is now one of the most famous companies in the world.

Christian Overland says he told Steve Wozniak that the museum bought an Apple-1 computer. He says Mr. Wozniak answered: “That’s pretty cool!” “Someday in the future we’re looking forward to having Mr. Wozniak coming back and visit the Apple 1. And, since it can still work, let’s see how he turns it on and works with it, because that’s one of the reasons why we bought this one, too -- it’s one of the 15 in the world left that can still work.”
