(Irfan Khan \/ Los Angeles Times) Apple&#8217;s new-model, top-of-the-line MacBook Pro laptop computer could set you back nearly $4,000 before taxes. But that will seem like a Black Friday steal when a 45-year-old Apple computer goes on sale this week in Monrovia, where it may fetch six figures or more, even without a 16-inch, high-definition screen and the latest microprocessors. On Tuesday, John Moran Auctioneers will auction off a functioning Apple-1 computer hand-built by Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs and others in a Los Altos, Calif., garage in 1976. The system was the rock upon which the trillion-dollar Apple empire was built. In his 2011 biography &#8220;Steve Jobs,&#8221; Walter Isaacson quotes Wozniak as saying of the Apple-1: &#8220;We were participating in the biggest revolution that had ever happened, I thought. I was so happy to be a part of it.&#8221; The hand-built Apple-1 is displayed at John Moran Auctioneers on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Apple-1 unit, built by Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs and others, is set for auction this week.
