Apple's first computer sells for $365,000 at auction

One of the first Apple computers, which still works and was sold to its original owner by Steve Jobs himself, has sold for $365,000 at auction.
The Apple-1 computer, which was originally sold for $600 out of Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage, is one of fewer than 50 of the computers left. It is the only known surviving computer to have been sold directly by Jobs.
Apple produced only a few hundred of the computers.
The price was short of the $400,000-$600,000 estimate by Christie’s the auction house, and far below the $905,000 paid by the Hendry Ford organisation in October for a similar computer.
One of the other expected highlights of the auction, which Christie's dubbed the Exceptional Sale, was withdrawn at the 11th hour when the estate of Joan Fontaine, who died aged 96 a year ago, pulled her best actress Oscar for the Alfred Hitchcock film "Suspicion" from the sale of her collection.
