The APPLE 1<\/strong>\u00a0marked the start of the era of “personal computing”, a computer that people could keep at home on their desks, a pioneer vision at that time, that opened the way for the future of human-machine interfaces. Born from the genius of Steve Wozniak, it transformed Apple into today ‘s success, thanks also to the entrepreneurial audacity of Steve Jobs.<\/p>\n

At that time only about 200 pieces were produced; \u00a0today only about 50 of them survived, of which only a dozen are fully working. The APPLE 1 was an open project<\/strong> since its birth: he schematics and instructions were already circulating among fans well before the creation of Apple as a company. From this early computer, Steve Wozniak created the legendary APPLE 2, a colossal success that transformed him and Steve Jobs into billionaires.<\/p>\n

We started this adventure almost two years ago at the “Museo dell’Informatica Funzionante” Computer Museum: to rebuild from scratch, starting from a completely blank electronic card, a working APPLE 1, using tools and components dated exactly or before its creation: 1976.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A year and a half \u00a0was spent searching for integrated circuits, connectors, electronic components of various types, bought new or second-hand, found in various parts of the world, but all identical to the originals<\/strong>, with the right features and from the same historical period. The project, managed by a local team, involved fans and professionals from all the world.<\/p>\n

So we present today our creation, made \u200b\u200bentirely in Sicily, Palazzolo Acreide, Italy: a specimen of APPLE Computer 1, fully functional, rebuilt with attention to every detail and using only original components at the best of our possibility!<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this release we intend to invite everyone to the event of his first start, in person or remotely via our live streaming.<\/p>\n
