What happened
A fully working Apple 1 motherboard signed by Steve Wozniak is expected to fetch up to $800,000 at auction, bundled with a signed letter from Steve Jobs. The listing is a collectible hardware artifact, not a product or tool.
Why it matters
No practical takeaway for builders; this is auction trivia with no engineering, tooling, or startup decision attached. Skip unless covering computing history as a fun segment filler.
Discussion angle
Brief mention as a 'did you know' cold open — the Apple 1 shipped as a bare board buyers had to solder themselves, a fun contrast to today's vibe-coding tooling.
