-      The story of Apple and Commodore is a little more nuanced than what you''ve written in this entry. For a more complete account, I suggest you check out Brian Bagnall''s book \_Commodore: A Company on the Edge\_.

-    text: According to Wikipedia, the Apple I was basically just a motherboard, without case, without keyboard, without monitor. It seems like a bunch of work to me! Nowadays, you could buy a "build-your-own" computer kit, but it wouldn''t be any kind of work like this, hoo hoo!

-    text: I am into the apple I and similar microcomputers, and out of nostalgia I want to design an apple I-based microcomputer with a casset interface and make my own programming language and burn it in a ROM (as crazy as it sounds, it's true!) Although the only way I have ever even played with an apple I is through an emulator, I still think they are very cool indeed!

-    text: Counterfeits... hmmm, maybe some creative people could clone the motherboard then stuff it with appropriate IC's of that era and voila! A new generation of Apple 1s. Getting the BASIC PROM content could be trickier tough (and getting software for it :^).

-      i was looking at the Apple 1 and figured out that it had some memory and a keyboard...but what was it used for?\
-      What did the user do with the saved data? could you save data?\
-      please explain why anyone would spend money on this computer!

-      The Apple 1 is one of the most sought after collector items for vintage computer collectors.\
-      It's value is around $30,000.Only around 250 were ever sold.Beware of counterfeits though.\
-      Most counterfeits are just Apple 2's components in a wooden box and are easy to differentiate from an original apple 1.\
-      The original Apple LISA(The first model only) can be worth upwards to $10,000 with original packing manuals,software and in excellent operational condition.
