In a continuing example of just how versatile some early computers were, a replica of an Apple 1 showed up at the Vintage Computer Festival West run by the Computer History Museum, upgraded with a modern Wi-Fi module, and running the latest instance of ChatGPT. Better yet, it was put together by original Apple employee and Macintosh legend, Daniel Kottke.
The Apple 1 was originally released in 1976 and featured a 1 MHz processor, just 4KB of memory, and 256 bytes of storage. Targeting the hobbyist market, it was relatively expensive at the time at $666.66 - equivalent to around $3,700 in today's money. It was short-lived, though, replaced by the Apple II just three years later, and only around 200 were sold.
