I hate lies, i hate manipulations.

Sothebys will be paid in multiples of what that video cost to make. How did you come up with opposite ? Most auction houses take 10- 30 % of price. So youre saying that this computer will cost less than 30k at final price ?

Also, Apple Computer was founded in 1976. But there were already "home" / personal computers sold from other companies for half of decade already. Or you can say that Apple employees did not built Apple-1 computer with already available intel 8008 CPU. Apple employees at that time were not innovators, they were marketers and solder monkeys.

Yes wikipedia is edited by public, and it is confusing on purpose. Apple has billions of dollars, so marketing department got paid to increase confusion on wikipedia articles for all apple products.

By charting computer history on timeline, you can see Apple-1 computer was nothing exceptional. It was just another random kit.

Apples push to sell to gullible teachers was toxic marketing strategy, which worked. So peoples exposed to this brand of computers in schools had emotional attachment to this brand. Yes apple targeted children. Not in China, in USA.
