Apple's first computer, simply called Apple I, has today become a real object ofcollection.It is in fact sold at auction for several hundred thousand euros, parts becoming particularly rare on the market. It must be said that the product was still released in the 1970s, in a fairly limited edition compared to the millions of current Mac runs.
Among these nuggets, some have until today contained a secret that no one has been able to accurately unravel. This is aserial number which is written by hand, and whose author has never come forward. However, we know that at the time of the creation of these devices, it was mainly the two co-founders of Apple who were at the helm: Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs.
Steve oh Steve
Woz, for its part, had already affirmed not to be at the origin of this inscription. Nothing surprising so far, since the entrepreneur willingly answers questions from journalists who come across him andeven takes the time to chat with those who follow him.
PourSteve Jobs, however, that's another story. The former CEO did not really appreciate seeing machines signed with his autographs increase in value over time: he therefore also denied being the one who wrote these serial numbers. Except that a new analysis ensures the opposite.
Hypothesis validated?
Indeed,graphological researchcarried out by the PSA company - one of the most renowned in the field - tend to prove that it is indeed the iconic director of Apple who is at the origin of this specificity. So of course the method used to achieve this result is not an exact science, but it still took several months to get there. The work notably consisted of comparing the handwriting of letters sent by Jobs and authenticated with that found on the Apple I.
