    One of the first 50 computers built by Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak is expected to fetch up to $600,000 +USD at auction.

    The unit is said to be in pristine condition and in full working order.

    The 1976 device features an Apple-1 motherboard with a vintage company monitor, keyboard and cassette interface for loading programmes.

    It comes with a custom mirror-bottomed plexiglass display case and is being sold by New York auction house Sotheby’s.

    The Apple-1n was the first pre-assembled personal computer to come to market, was the debut product of the embryonic tech company that would grow to become one of the world’s largest.

    The Steve Wozniak-designed computer was one of the first to integrate video display terminal circuitry into its circuit board.

    It was a revolutionary step at a time when most computers used blinking lights and switches as an interface.

    The Apple-1 with a television screen and keyboard was a computer that was accessible to an audience well beyond hobbyists.

    The Fishy 1,000 That Failed To Get Away
    An ace angler has broken the ultimate fishing record by becoming the first person in the world to catch 1,000 different species of fish.

    Steve Wozniak, 47, from from San Ramon, California, has spent 10 years pursuing the astonishing quest that has seen him fish in 63 different countries.

    He has spent 20,000 hours on riverbanks, piers, beaches and boats waiting for a bite for fish ranging from a tiny minnow to a 900lbs shark.

    Steve has forked out more than GBP 50,000 and racked up over one million air miles criss-crossing the globe with his rod and tackle over the last decade.

    The record rodman has fished on every continent bar Antarctica, including places as far reaching as Cambodia to the Isle of Wight.

    He has snared virtually every freshwater fish native to Britain and spent two years and GBP 4,000 alone trying to capture an Atlantic salmon in Scotland.

    Steve has also broken 12 International Game Fishing Association records along the way and has another five pending.

    His mammoth efforts finally paid off when he snared a 2lbs coalfish in a Norwegian fjord to net the record that is being dubbed the 'Cast of a Thousand'.

    Steve now intends to temporarily hang up his rod to write a book about his angling adventures.

    He said: "It is very humbling to be the only person in the world to catch 1,000 different species of fish.

    "It has been an almighty challenge and one where there have been many highs and many lows, like trying to catch a tench fish which seemed to elude me for seven years.

    "When I caught the coalfish I think I expected it to be this big fanfare event but I was sat in a boat in a peaceful fjord an hour below the Arctic circle.

    "I just sort of sat there with a glow of accomplishment."

    Steve caught his first fish at the age...

    Steve Wozniak, 47, from from San Ramon, California, has spent 10 years pursuing the astonishing quest that has seen him fish in 63 different countries.

    He has spent 20,000 hours on riverbanks, piers, beaches and boats waiting for a bite for fish ranging from a tiny minnow to a 900lbs shark.

    Steve has forked out more than GBP 50,000 and racked up over one million air miles criss-crossing the globe with his rod and tackle over the last decade.

    The record rodman has fished on every continent bar Antarctica, including places as far reaching as Cambodia to the Isle of Wight.

    He has snared virtually every freshwater fish native to Britain and spent two years and GBP 4,000 alone trying to capture an Atlantic salmon in Scotland.

    Steve has also broken 12 International Game Fishing Association records along the way and has another five pending.

    His mammoth efforts finally paid off when he snared a 2lbs coalfish in a Norwegian fjord to net the record that is being dubbed the 'Cast of a Thousand'.

    Steve now intends to temporarily hang up his rod to write a book about his angling adventures.

    He said: "It is very humbling to be the only person in the world to catch 1,000 different species of fish.

    "It has been an almighty challenge and one where there have been many highs and many lows, like trying to catch a tench fish which seemed to elude me for seven years.

    "When I caught the coalfish I think I expected it to be this big fanfare event but I was sat in a boat in a peaceful fjord an hour below the Arctic circle.

    "I just sort of sat there with a glow of accomplishment."

    Steve caught his first fish at the age...

    Steve has also broken 12 International Game Fishing Association records along the way and has another five pending.

    His mammoth efforts finally paid off when he snared a 2lbs coalfish in a Norwegian fjord to net the record that is being dubbed the 'Cast of a Thousand'.

    Steve now intends to temporarily hang up his rod to write a book about his angling adventures.

    He said: "It is very humbling to be the only person in the world to catch 1,000 different species of fish.

    "It has been an almighty challenge and one where there have been many highs and many lows, like trying to catch a tench fish which seemed to elude me for seven years.

    "When I caught the coalfish I think I expected it to be this big fanfare event but I was sat in a boat in a peaceful fjord an hour below the Arctic circle.

    The Fishy 1,000 That Failed To Get Away
    An ace angler has broken the ultimate fishing record by becoming the first person in the world to catch 1,000 different species of fish.

    Steve Wozniak, 47, from from San Ramon, California, has spent 10 years pursuing the astonishing quest that has seen him fish in 63 different countries.

    He has spent 20,000 hours on riverbanks, piers, beaches and boats waiting for a bite for fish ranging from a tiny minnow to a 900lbs shark.

    Steve has forked out more than GBP 50,000 and racked up over one million air miles criss-crossing the globe with his rod and tackle over the last decade.

    The record rodman has fished on every continent bar Antarctica, including places as far reaching as Cambodia to the Isle of Wight.

    He has snared virtually every freshwater fish native to Britain and spent two years and GBP 4,000 alone trying to capture an Atlantic salmon in Scotland.

    Steve has also broken 12 International Game Fishing Association records along the way and has another five pending.

    His mammoth efforts finally paid off when he snared a 2lbs coalfish in a Norwegian fjord to net the record that is being dubbed the 'Cast of a Thousand'.
