RR Auction: Steve Jobs and the Apple Computer Revolution

Lot 4001 - Steve Jobs: (3) Apple-1 Prototype Polaroid Photographs Given to Paul Terrell of the Byte Shop in 1976 Three original vintage circa 1976 Polaroid snapshot photographs from Steve Jobs's 'pitch deck' for the Apple-1 Computer, each measuring 3.5 x 4.25, given by Jobs to pioneering computer retailer Paul Terrell, owner of the Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, during Jobs's historic 1976 demo of the device. On seeing Steve Jobs's demonstration of the Apple-1, Paul Terrell gave Apple their first big sale—a 'COD' (Cash On Delivery) purchase order for 50 Apple-1 Computers on 'Net 30' terms, which provided Jobs with the seed capital funds to start manufacturing the computers and allowed Apple Computer to establish credit with its suppliers of component parts. The Polaroids show Steve Jobs's prototype Apple-1 board (then denoted "Apple Computer A") hooked up to an uncased Amkey keyboard and standard CRT video monitor: one photo shows an overview of the setup, one shows a closer angle of the computer board itself, and the other shows the computer in action, with a program running on the screen that concludes in: "This is the Apple Computer-1." In overall fine condition. The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months, Jobs and Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers and sold 175 of them. These three Polaroids originate directly from Paul Terrell; they were famously published in Harry McCracken's 'Technologizer' column in Time Magazine on November 22, 2012, under the title, 'Behold, Some of the First Apple Computer Photos Ever.' RR Auction sold the Apple-1 prototype pictured in 2022 for over $677,000, at which time these photos received further media coverage worldwide. Though previously believed to have been taken by Terrell during Jobs's demonstration, his recollection is that Jobs had prepared them as part of his original 'pitch deck' and left them at the Byte Shop. The Byte Shop's $25,000 purchase order forever changed the course of Apple Computer, Inc.—what Jobs and Woz had conceived as part of a $40 do-it-yourself kit for hobbyists became, at Terrell's request, a fully assembled personal computer to be sold at $666.66. Steve Wozniak later placed Terrell's purchase order for fifty Apple-1s in perspective: 'That was the biggest single episode in all of the company's history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.' Provenance: Steve Jobs Paul Terrell (accompanied by his letter of provenance) Loaned to Living Computer Museum (with two Polaroids retaining museum inventory labels on the reverse)

Lot 4002 - Steve Jobs Original NeXT I.D. Badge Photograph with (8) Polaroids of NeXT Computer Founding Employees Incredible set of nine color glossy 3.5 x 4.25 Polaroid photographs of several founding employees of NeXT Computer, a group highlighted by principal founder and CEO Steve Jobs. Also pictured are George Crow, Rich Page, Susan Kelly Barnes, Tom Carlisle, Bruce Blumberg, Lynn Takahashi, Bud Tribble, and Dan’l Lewin, all of whom were former Apple Computer employees. The name of each pictured employee is annotated in the lower border in an unknown hand. The consignor notes that these pictures were taken shortly after the formation of NeXT and that these Polaroids were used as temporary company ID badges. Presented in their original file folder, with each photo stapled to their protective sleeve. In overall fine condition. George Crow — Vice President of Analog Hardware Engineering Crow joined the original Macintosh development team at Apple Computer in 1981 and designed the analog board containing the power supply and video circuitry for the first Macintosh 128K. When the prototype developed problems with the early Twiggy drive, he worked behind the scenes to replace it with Sony's new 3.5-inch floppy mechanism. He left Apple with Jobs in 1985 to become a co-founding member of NeXT as the Vice President of Analog Hardware Engineering, ultimately leaving NeXT to work for SuperMac and then Truevision. In 1999, Crow returned to Apple with Jobs back as CEO. Rich Page — Vice President of Digital Hardware Engineering Page was recruited by Jobs to join Apple Computer at the urging of John Couch. Among his achievements, Page chose to use the Motorola 68000 processor in the Lisa and the first Macintosh 128K, and he later prototyped Apple's first portable computer and the 68020-based system. Page became an Apple Fellow in 1983 and, two years later, he left Apple and joined Jobs as a founding member of NeXT. Page was responsible for developing the NeXTcube and NeXTstation. Susan Kelly Barnes — Chief Financial Officer Barnes joined Apple Computer in 1981 as the financial controller of the Macintosh division, first reporting to financial executive Debi Coleman and then directly to co-founder Steve Jobs. In 1985, Barnes and Coleman helped Jobs get Apple to acquire a 19.99% stake in Adobe Systems, the developer of PostScript. Barnes left Apple and joined Jobs as a founding member of NeXT, where she became the Chief Financial Officer. In 1989, she helped arrange an investment of $100 million by Canon in exchange for a 16.7 percent stake in the company. Barnes married fellow Apple and NeXT colleague Bud Tribble. Tom Carlisle — Director of Facilities Carlisle was an early employee of Apple Computer who worked as an interior designer. He followed Jobs to NeXT and became one of its first 10 employees as the director of facilities. Carlisle later became the facilities director at Jobs' other venture, Pixar. Bruce Blumberg — Product Marketing Manager and Senior Development Support Engineer Blumberg joined Apple in 1981 and later became a product manager in the Lisa and Macintosh divisions. In 1985, Blumberg followed Jobs to NeXT and became one of its first employees. He left NeXT in 1992 to continue his studies and became an assistant professor at the MIT Media Lab. Lynn Takahashi — Office Manager Takahashi was a member of the original Macintosh development team at Apple Computer where she worked as an assistant to co-founder Steve Jobs. In 1985, she followed Jobs to NeXT where she served as the office manager. Guy ‘Bud’ Tribble —Vice President of Software Engineering Tribble was recruited by Jef Raskin to join the original Macintosh development team at Apple Computer in 1980, helping design the user interface of the system software as manager of Mac software. He later joined Jobs at NeXT, where he became an expert in software design and object-oriented programming. Tribble is one of the few early Apple Computer employees to have completed a ‘round trip’ with Jobs to NeXT, and then back to Apple after it acquired NeXT Software in 1997. Dan’l Lewin — Vice President of Sales and Marketing Lewin was hired by Apple in January 1981 and, while assigned to the Macintosh division, established the Apple University Consortium. He eventually became the Director of Global Education Sales and Marketing. He left Apple with Jobs in 1985 and became a founding member of NeXT, where he became the Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Lot 4003 - Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check - PSA MINT 9 Early Apple Computer Company check, 6 x 3, filled out in type and signed by Jobs, "steven jobs," payable to Redwood Ans. Service for $16.90, July 4, 1976. Headed "Apple Computer Company," the check uses Apple's first official address at "770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto"—the location of the answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition, with a minor brush to Jobs' last name. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "MINT 9." Signed on the Fourth of July amidst celebrations of the United States bicentennial, Steve Jobs was about to foment a revolution of his own—the microcomputer revolution. During this period in the summer of 1976, roughly three months after founding the Apple Computer Company, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak were hard at work building their first product: the Apple-1 Computer. Running the company out of the Jobs family garage, they got an 'official' address with the Redwood Answering Service in Palo Alto, which gave them a mail drop and telephone number for dealer inquiries. They set the price of the Apple-1 at $666.66, and sold about 175 of the 200 units built over the span of ten months. The initial, niche success of the Apple-1 spurred development of the Apple II, released in 1977. The Apple II, along with the Commodore PET 2001 and Tandy TRS-80, became known as the 'trinity' of mass-market personal computers, and represented the advent of the microcomputer revolution.

Lot 4004 - Steve Jobs Signed 1976 Apple Computer Check No. 4, Predating the Official Founding of the Company - PSA GEM MT 10 Wells Fargo bank check, 7.5 x 3, filled out and signed by Steve Jobs, "steven jobs," payable to Zack Electronics for $4.95, March 19, 1976. Drawn on the account of "Apple Computer," this temporary check, issued upon opening Apple's first bank account, bears the same routing and account numbers as other early Apple Computer Company checks we have offered—those, however, date to July 1976 and are imprinted with Apple's first official address at '770 Welch Rd., Ste. 154, Palo Alto'—the location of an answering service and mail drop that they used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage. In very fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "GEM MT 10." Marked as check "No. 4," this ultra-early check predates the official founding of Apple Computer, Inc.—some thirteen days later, on April 1, 1976, co-founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne would sign the partnership agreement that officially brought Apple Computer into existence. In March 1976, the month of this check, Wozniak had completed work on an innovative microcomputer design—now known as the Apple-1 Computer—and Jobs suggested that they sell it. Based on the early date, this check for $4.95 to Zack Electronics—an electronics distribution house with locations in Palo Alto and San Jose—likely represents payment for parts affiliated with the first Apple-1 prototypes.

The photo was taken spontaneously as we walked around Manhattan by Jean Pigozzi, a wild French jet setter who was hanging out with us at the time.' Provenance: From the caretakers of the Jackling House (1984-1990), Julien's Auctions, September 23, 2016. Steve Jobs purchased Jackling House—a historic estate in Woodside, California—in 1984, and he resided there for a decade.

In fine condition, with faint soiling and two small Rolodex bumps to the bottom edge. The consignor, John S. Romain, documented his meeting with Jobs in his 2019 book, The Road to Eden: The Journey Home, which is included. The story, told on page 88, reads: ‘The first Omni event that I attended was a small gathering of Silicon Valley luminaries at a very exclusive restaurant in San Francisco in early February 1980. Omni publisher Kathy Kenton had set up the dinner to establish a relationship with the emerging personal computer industry. The guest list included not only key executives but also the brightest visionaries of the valley. As host, I was privileged to dine at the table with those who were both. Though it was my job to entertain, I spent most of the evening just listening to the conversations between the guests, the most memorable being a young Steve Jobs in a passionate discussion with two of his colleagues about artificial intelligence. I asked if this was possible in our lifetime. Oh, yes, they all agreed. Jobs went so far as to say that we would probably see it happen within thirty years. That moment came back to haunt me thirty-one years later, when Steve Jobs died the day after Apple introduced its first product embedded with artificial intelligence, the iPhone 4.5 with Siri.’

Lot 4009 - Steve Jobs (3) Apple Business Cards (1997, 1998, and 1999) as "Interim CEO" and "iCEO" Rare set of three Apple Computer business cards of Steve Jobs from 1997, 1998, and 1999, which date to his return to the company where he assumed the role of Interim CEO, a title he later creatively altered to ‘iCEO.’ The cards, each 3.5 x 2, all feature the Apple logo, with the two earlier versions bearing the iconic ‘rainbow’ logo, and the third featuring a red ‘translucent’ logo. The ‘rainbow’ cards share identical contact information, but differ in title, with the earliest version marked “Interim CEO,” and the second version identifying Jobs as “iCEO.” The red ‘translucent’ also lists Jobs as the “iCEO,” but features a break in the contact information and is dual-sided, with the reverse identical minus Jobs’s title in Japanese characters. In overall fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from a former Apple employee who states that he “worked for the company from 1987 to 2015, nearly three decades, during which I had the privilege of witnessing and contributing to some of the most transformative periods in the company's history. Throughout my tenure, I was based at Apple's headquarters, directly experiencing the leadership and vision of Steve Jobs...I acquired these cards directly from Steve's executive assistant. My role required regular interaction with the executive team, and through these professional connections, I was able to obtain these items.”

Lot 4025 - Apple-1 Computer from Apple Employee Dana Redington - From the 'Trade-In' Pile in Steve Jobs' Office, Gifted by Jobs and Woz to Apple's First Applications Engineer Sought-after 'NTI'-style Apple-1 computer (also commonly known as the Apple I, or Apple Computer 1) restored to full functionality, complete with all components and accessories required for operation. This board comes from the collection of early Apple employee Dana Redington, who has owned it since early 1978. Accompanied by a detailed letter of provenance from Redington, explaining that the Apple-1 was given to him by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: "In early 1978, while preparing for a move to a new building, I noticed a pile of soon-to-be-discarded Apple I boards. Apple had offered a trade-in program for upgrading to the Apple II to help phase out the older board. With Wozniak and Jobs' permission, I selected the best motherboard and a couple of cassette interface cards from the pile." Prior this auction, this board was 'undiscovered' to the Apple collecting community and has never been offered for sale; it is now logged as #104 in the Apple-1 Registry. The set includes: • original Apple-1 'NTI' board, with label annotated "4062" • original Apple Cassette Interface (ACI) board • period Cherry mechanical keyboard (circa 1974) with Apple-1 compatible interface cable • linear power supply wired for an Apple-1 based on two Triad transformers (F31-X and F40X) mounted on a wooden frame • modern Insignia LCD TV/video monitor with Apple-1 compatible video cable • detailed letter of provenance from Dana Redington, discussing his employment at Apple and his receipt of this board • Dana Redington's Apple Computer business card, listing the address as 20863 Stevens Creek Blvd. in Cupertino • Original photograph of Dana Redington and Steve Wozniak posing with the Datsun 280ZX, license plate "APPLEII," used in a 1983 TV commercial This Apple-1 computer was restored and brought to an operational state in June 2024 by Apple-1 expert Corey Cohen. Upon initial visual inspection, this Apple-1 was missing or had damage to components including all integrated circuit chips, PROMs, 'Big Blue' capacitors, three regulators, four power diodes, a crystal oscillator, and various other components. Cohen made all board-level repairs using new old stock components; where available, all socketed components were replaced with period-correct and manufacturer-correct components. In the process, Cohen prepared a comprehensive technical report documenting the condition and restoration of the board, as well as a 'proof of life' video demonstrating its functionality, which are available to qualified bidders. In his report, Cohen notes that the condition of the board supports the notion that it comes from the "trade-in pile which has been documented by other early Apple employees as being located in Steve Jobs’ office," as the board's ceramic capacitors exhibit some cosmetic marring "likely from being in the 'pile' of Apple-1 boards in Steve Jobs’ office where another Apple-1 board placed on top of this board had its IC socket legs contacting." The Apple-1 was originally conceived by Steve Jobs and Steve ‘Woz’ Wozniak as a bare circuit board to be sold as a kit and completed by electronics hobbyists, their initial market being Palo Alto’s Homebrew Computer Club. Seeking a larger audience, Jobs approached Paul Terrell, owner of The Byte Shop in Mountain View, California, one of the first personal computer stores in the world. Aiming to elevate the computer beyond the realm of the hobbyist, Terrell agreed to purchase 50 Apple-1 computers, but only if they were fully assembled. The Apple-1 thus became one of the first ‘personal’ computers which did not require soldering by the end user. All together, over a span of about ten months from 1976-77, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced about 200 Apple-1 computers, selling 175 of them. Building on that success, they introduced the Apple II in June 1977, which became one of the world's first highly successful mass-produced microcomputer products. Dana Redington joined Apple Computer after visiting Steve Wozniak—a former neighbor and fellow graduate of Cupertino's Homestead High School—in April 1977 at the 'Good Earth building' on Stevens Creek Boulevard to demonstrate some programs he had written. Woz introduced Dana to Mike Markkula who immediately offered him a job. He was the company's first applications software engineer, developing programs for the Apple II. Redington reflects: 'I developed several demonstration programs, including a hands-free, eye-controlled version of Breakout using face electrodes, and a Star Wars-inspired program that highlighted the Apple II's high-resolution color graphics, animation, sound, and custom fonts.

Lot 4032 - Apple II Computer 'Breakout' Cassette Tape for 'Color Demos' Original Apple II personal computer cassette tape for containing “Color Demos” for the arcade game “Breakout,” which was released in 1977 and developed by Steve Wozniak. The green-and-white labels to either side bear faint stamps: “BREAKOUT, 1K” and “COLOR DEMOS, 1K.” A DAK label affixed to one side of the included cassette case is annotated in black ink, “BREAKOUT, COLOR DEMOS, A.” In fine condition. Designed by Steve Wozniak in October of 1975, the arcade game Breakout was developed and published by Atari, Inc. and released on May 13, 1976. In the game, a layer of bricks lined the top third of the screen, and the goal was to destroy them all by repeatedly bouncing a ball off a paddle into them. Breakout was a worldwide commercial success, among the top five highest-grossing arcade video games of 1976 in both the United States and Japan and then among the top three highest-grossing arcade video games of 1977 in the U.S. and Japan. Wozniak later claimed that Breakout directly influenced the design of the Apple II computer, saying ‘A lot of features of the Apple II went in because I had designed Breakout for Atari. I had designed it in hardware. I wanted to write it in software now.’ This included his design of color graphics circuitry, the addition of game paddle support and sound, and graphics commands in Integer BASIC. ‘Basically, all the game features were put in just so I could show off the game I was familiar with—Breakout—at the Homebrew Computer Club. It was the most satisfying day of my life [when] I demonstrated Breakout—totally written in BASIC. It seemed like a huge step to me. After designing hardware arcade games, I knew that being able to program them in BASIC was going to change the world.’

Lot 4050 - Apple Lisa Computer with 'Twiggy' Drives, ProFile Hard Drive, Software, Manuals, and Printer Rare Apple Lisa desktop computer (Model A6SB100P, Memory Option A6SB108), representing an innovative step in the transition between the Apple I and II and the Macintosh. It was one of the first personal computers to present a graphical user interface (GUI), and is remembered for its high price and lack of sales. This example, with Apple label reading "Serial No: B08B831950122, Applenet No: 00102755, Manufactured: 8315," features the rare original-configuration 'Twiggy' floppy drives. The concept of a GUI-based system was initially developed by Xerox in 1973, but it was Apple that brought it to market with the release of the Lisa in January 1983. The Lisa introduced revolutionary features such as overlapping windows, pull-down menus, and drag-and-drop functionality. Despite its groundbreaking design, the Lisa was expensive, and its specially designed 'Twiggy' drives were notoriously unreliable. These 'Twiggy' drives were prone to frequent failures, which significantly hindered the commercial success of the Lisa. To address these issues, Apple quickly introduced the Lisa-2 with a modified front panel and standard floppy disk drive. Apple offered Lisa-1 owners a free upgrade to Lisa-2, requiring the return of the original front panel and Twiggy drives, which were then destroyed. As a result, a complete Lisa-1, like the one offered here, is extremely rare. It is estimated that only 30 to 100 Lisa-1 machines still exist today. This Apple Lisa-1 is in exceptional condition, both visually and technically: it is fully functional except for one of the Twiggy drives. This Lisa-1 and its external Apple Profile hard disk run on EURO 220 volts, but can be changed with little effort to US 110 volts. The system also includes original peripherals, software, and manuals required for operation: the Apple Lisa mouse, Apple Lisa keyboard, Apple ProFile 5MB hard drive (Model A9M1005, Serial No. 145361), Apple parallel interface, Apple Dot Matrix Printer, and Twiggy (or in Apple terminology, 'File Ware') diskettes with the following programs and German manuals: LisaDraw, LisaCalc, LisaList, LisaWrite, LisaGraph, and seven further diskettes. The mouse is particularly desirable as Apple's first mouse—representing a major transition to point-and-click personal computing with Lisa's revolutionary graphical user interface. Development of the Lisa project began in 1978, aimed at individual business users. Officially, "Lisa" stood for 'Local Integrated Software Architecture,' but it was also the name of Steve Jobs' daughter. The Lisa was first introduced in January 1983 at a cost of $9,995, as one of the first commercial personal computers to have a GUI and a mouse. This initial, original model of Lisa computer features the dual, custom, 5 1/4" 'Twiggy' drives. These floppy drives, designed in-house at Apple, were innovative—featuring a high capacity, variable spindle speed, and were double-sided. The Lisa had initially been designed with the idea of running its operating system entirely from these disks. But due to the lack of speed, and the increasing needs of the operating system, the Lisa shipped with an external 5MB ProFile hard drive. The Twiggy drives, with their unique custom diskettes, high manufacture cost, and field unreliability, were soon replaced by Apple with a free upgrade to the later "Lisa 2" machine, which replaced disk drives with a single 3 1/2" Sony drive, and a new faceplate to accommodate it. As this was offered to customers at no charge, and Apple required the return of the original disk drives and faceplate, it is incredibly rare to find a surviving machine with the original Twiggy drives. The Lisa did not do well in the marketplace. A large part of this was its hefty price tag, another the relative lack of available software. The machine was also perhaps too much of a radical change in computing environments, offering the graphical interface and the mouse to consumers for the first time. The Lisa was also fairly slow, and this was reflected in the user experience with the operating system. The Lisa did offer a vast array of advanced features, from multitasking to soft power, that took years to make it into other platforms. The Macintosh, released just a year later in 1984 inherited much of the graphical functionality, and the mouse from the Lisa—but did so at a far lower cost, and it was faster as well. Apple attempted to market and sell the Lisa alongside the Macintosh—eventually releasing a modification kit to allow the Lisa hardware to run Macintosh software, and sold a so-modified machine as the Macintosh XL. This had the distinct advantage of having a larger screen and a lot more memory, but was somewhat slower than an actual Macintosh due to the lower processor clock speed. Ultimately, Lisa didn't find commercial success, and sold only 10,000 units before being discontinued i

Lot 4051 - Apple III Computer with Apple Monitor III and Huge Software Bundle Fantastic, functioning Apple III computer set, complete with all essential software and peripherals. The computer's underside bears an affixed Apple Computer label checked “128K” with serial number "A3S2-117040,” and the backside features an on/off switch and various ports for power supply, printer interface, floppy disk drive, and monitor outputs. Apple III features include an 80-column, 24-line display with upper and lowercase characters, a numeric keypad, dual-speed (pressure-sensitive) cursor control keys, 6-bit (DAC) audio, and a built-in 140-kilobyte 5.25-inch floppy disk drive. Tested to boot up and in overall fine cosmetic condition. The bundle additionally includes an Apple Monitor III (in original box, with owner's manual) plus several spiral-bound user's guides and reference manuals, and boxed software including Apple III System Software, Apple III Pascal, Apple III COBOL, Quick File III, Apple Writer III, Record Processing Services (RPS), Business Graphics, Mail List Manager, E-Z Pieces, plus several other floppy disks with various utilities and programs. Released with a whopping price tag orbiting $5000, the business-oriented Apple III computer, equipped with the Apple SOS operating system, seemed predestined to fail. Designed to serve as the successor to the Apple II series, the Apple III suffered from stability issues shortly after its November 1980 release, which resulted in the first 14,000 machines produced being recalled. The bugs were fixed, but the computer’s reputation was not. The Apple III was discontinued on April 24, 1984, and its last successor, the III Plus, was dropped from the Apple product line in September 1985. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak stated that the primary reason for the Apple III's failure was that the system was designed by Apple's marketing department, unlike Apple's previous engineering-driven projects.

In overall very good to fine condition. At the time of the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, Microsoft was the biggest third-party developer for Apple Computer. Bill Gates was so impressed with the Macintosh operating system—especially the novelty and user-friendliness of the GUI—that he convinced Apple to license the use of Macintosh features in Windows 1.0 and all future Microsoft software programs. Apple would bring a famous lawsuit against Microsoft in March 1988, in which courts found that any allegations of copyright infringement by Apple were covered by the existing license. By the time all related appeals and petitions came to an end in 1995, Microsoft had grown into a personal computing behemoth, and Apple teetered on the brink of collapse.

Per Maurice Sharp, a DTS Engineer at Apple, there were ‘a few different types of clear 110's produced (in fact of any device),’ which consisted of DVT, PVT, and ‘pre-prod/concept’ versions. It’s believed that less than 400 of these clear MessagePad 110s were produced.

Lot 4075 - Apple Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) (Sealed) Very rare new-in-box example of the limited edition Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM), released by Apple in 1997 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the company's founding. Aimed at the executive market, the innovative computer boasted a $7,500 price tag and feature-packed performance that exceeded most personal computers of the era. This example remains sealed in its original box, with original specifications and shipping labels affixed outside. This Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh set (Part No. M4934LL/A, Serial No. MW7483YJ8HA) includes the computer with a built-in 12.1" LCD screen, Bose speakers, and vertically-mounted CD-ROM drive; keyboard with built-in trackpad; base unit power supply/subwoofer; remote control; and user's manual. Despite its feature-rich technology, the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh was met with slow sales, presumably due to its price tag and limited means for expansion. However, its design proved influential in future product lines; until recently, modern iMacs featured vertically oriented optical drives behind their LCD screens (similar to the floppy drive on the TAM), and the Magic Trackpad is offered as a popular peripheral (like the trackpad on the TAM keyboard).

Tested to boot up and in overall fine cosmetic condition. The iMac G3 was introduced in 1998 in a great variety of fruity colors—from blueberry to tangerine—which proved essential to the marketing strategy of Steve Jobs and Apple. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the iMac G3 helped popularize USB and was one of the first computers to eliminate the floppy drive, signaling a shift towards new technology standards. The G3’s mixture of speed, style, and affordability reinvigorated Apple Computer—the company went from losing $878 million in 1997 to making its first profit in three years in 1998.

Known as the 'clamshell' and inspired by the colorful line of G3 iMacs, the original iBook was introduced in 1999 to much success, targeting the entry-level consumer and education markets. Vestiges of its distinctive design are still seen across Apple's notebook lineups: the iBook moved interface ports from the back to the sides (and left them uncovered), omitted a latch for the computer's lid, and provided multiple color options. The original iBook is on exhibition at the London Design Museum and the Yale University Art Gallery.

This extensive archive contains printed meeting notes, budget and mailing information, preliminary design sketches, and, most importantly, a group of six releases signed by well-known Macintosh users Jim Henson, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Vonnegut, Ted Turner (2), Maya Lin, and Dianne Feinstein, who granted Apple permission to use their photographs and stories in the report.

Begin contact of participants, distribution of Macs and orientation immediately after." - "We will make it really easy and simple to the participants. We need to induct them with Apple values and get them very excited about Macintosh." - "East Coast trip week of 9/3/84 - Rockefeller, Pei, Vonnegut, Letterman?" - "1984, a banner year for Apple. This is the year we turned the wave around and laid building blocks/the foundation for the future for the company. We’ve taken big risk and we’ve pulled through; we’ve proven we can succeed." - "We must illustrate the importance and significance of our products through the 'portfolio' concept, and not end up with a variety of cute drawings generated on Macintosh." - "We must focus upon the people of Apple who were responsible for our success, and not just focus upon the executive staff." - "The first section would focus upon the people who have been so instrumental in the successes mentioned above. We would execute this photographically." - "The second section would be a 'portfolio' containing the work of a cross-section of 10 to 15 famous as well as not famous people. These people either are currently using our products, or would be given new products to use."

Because we had less than 3 months to write, design, print and deliver our book. This is unheard of in the book publishing world”), the standard book production process (“Step 1. Somebody writes a manuscript. Step 2. Somebody else edits it. Step 3. The publisher brings in his legal beagles to make certain his chances of getting sued by the subjects of the book are slim”), and finishing touches (“I started to round up potential publishers who could meet our timeframe and quality standards. The stated timeframe was mid-April to mid-May, after rejecting the idea of delivering for the Shareholders’ Meeting in mid-January”). In overall fine condition.

For reasons unknown, the fate of the balloon was relegated to the landfill, but not before Apple production manager Dennis Gobets, recognizing its significance, chose to cut out this enormous rainbow-colored section. Although unconfirmed, this may be the only surviving remnant of one of history’s most recognizable hot air balloons.

Lot 4085 - Apple Computer Wall Street Journal Parody Advertisement - "Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously." Extremely rare parody full-page Wall Street Journal newspaper advertisement printed by the Creative Services department of Apple Computer, with the bold uncensored headline, “Fuck you, Chiat/Day. Seriously.,” an in-house spoof printed as an acerbic alternative to Steve Jobs’s gracious full-page ‘thank you’ letter to the New York City advertising agency following Apple’s dismissal of the company on May 27, 1986. Jobs, then no longer with Apple, had his letter printed in The Wall Street Journal on the same day. It featured the famous headline: “Congratulations, Chiat/Day. Seriously.” The realistic full-page ad, 15 x 23, reads, in full: “Congratulations. You think you're so smart. You really do. You think you won some big ones. You didn't. You were wrong all along. Apple doesn't stand for blondes with big hooters and a hammer. Apple stands for middle managers. The kind you push off cliffs. You said we could sell 128K Macs to business. Then you screwed up Test Drive. You said you needed an Apple III that worked to shoot an ad. Did you have to take our only one? You're washed up. Even Nike thinks so. And what about your big ideas? What about double page ads in The Wall Street Journal? If that was so smart, how come you guys run single page ads for yourselves in The Mercury News? No wonder we were losing money last year. We won't even mention how you guys named and priced Lisa, then changed your mind after the Macintosh intro. changed Listen. You're fired. And remember. We were real guys about it. We did the agency review dance. Thank God we didn't blow a million bucks on Super Bowl '86. And finally, just get one thing very straight: We don't need your kind of creative lunatics around here no more. Seriously. P.S. We want our hammer back.” The reverse of the page, which contains actual articles printed in the May 28, 1986 issue of The Wall Street Journal, bears an affixed photocopy of an Advertising Age article from June 30, 1986, which covers the spoof article’s leak and bears the headline, “‘Ad’ flips Chiat the bird - is it a cheap shot?” In fine condition. The consignor notes that several of these full-page ads were surreptitiously printed and placed into Wall Street Journal newspapers for Apple employees to discover. A fascinating piece of Apple Computer history that reveals the internal frustrations of the company’s creative department with Chiat/Day, the agency responsible for some of Apple’s most memorable advertising campaigns, including the legendary ‘1984’ Super Bowl commercial, which introduced the Macintosh computer. When Apple parted ways with the agency in 1986, the decision was made under the leadership of then-CEO John Sculley, who opted to switch to the agency BBDO1. Steve Jobs, who had left Apple the previous year and collaborated closely with Lee Clow, the creative director at Chiat/Day, publicly criticized this move, suggesting it indicated a shift away from Apple’s innovative spirit. As such, his “Congratulations” letter to the agency was also an unsubtle parting shot at Apple.

Lot 4094 - Apple Macintosh Portable - From the Collection of Apple Product Manager Dennis Gobets Original Apple Macintosh Portable computer (40MB) personally owned by Apple production manager Dennis Gobets. This early Apple laptop, Model M5120, Serial no. F3026N43M58, measures approximately 15.25″ x 14.25″ x 4″ when closed, with a monochrome screen, 80-key keyboard with numeric keypad, built-in trackball mouse, 1MB of memory, and 40 MB of storage.

The computer is sold as is and is in fine, untested condition, with a small chip to the left side. Apple's very first battery-powered computer, the Macintosh Portable was a total failure when it was released in 1989. It was slow, expensive, and heavy—earning the unwanted nickname 'The Luggable' due to its 16-pound weight and less than one hour of battery life. While voted one of the worst tech gadgets of all time, the Portable holds the title as the first computer to ever send an email from space. It did, however, pave the way for the Powerbook 100—which has since been named the 10th greatest personal computer of all time.
