Ahoy, matey! If ye be swimmin' in doubloons and got a fierce love for Apple trinkets, then this here auction be the treasure map ye seek! Hoist the sails and prepare to bid, for riches await ye! Arrr!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend an ear, for a treasure most rare be up for grabs! A vintage Apple Macintosh prototype, the fabled #M0001 from the year of our Lord 1983, be luring those with gold aplenty in their coffers. This wondrous machine might fetch a mighty sum of $120,000 at Bonhams in New York, mayhaps even more than that if the winds be fair!Only a handful of these mythical Twiggy contraptions exist, and the last one sailed off to new shores for a whopping $150,075! Why, ye ask? 'Tis due to its peculiar 5.25-inch disk drive, unlike the common 3.5-inch drives that followed. Legend hath it that the great Steve Jobs wanted these pre-production units sent to Davy Jones’ locker, yet this one survived the scallywags!
With a treasure trove of prototype software running, ye might even catch a glimpse of Jobs himself prattling instructions! But beware, savvy buyer, for it remains a mystery if this beauty still breathes life. Accompanied by a prototype keyboard and mouse, ye’ll hold a piece of Apple history in yer hands, a quaint 512KB of memory to boot! So, gather yer doubloons and sail forth, but check with Bonhams first, lest ye find yerself with a rusted relic instead of a prize! Arrr!
