The check was made out to a company that Apple bought printed circuit boards from called Ramlor, Inc. Since it was a temporary check, there is no mention of the Apple brand but it does have the signatures of the two Steves on the financial document.The company bylaws required any check for more than $100 to be signed by two of the three partners.
Not everything Apple makes is a big hit and the Newton MessagePad is proof. The current top bid is only $200 "Terrell offered to buy 50 of the computers-at a wholesale price of $500 a piece, to retail at $666.66—but only if they came fully assembled. With this request, Terrell aimed to elevate the computer from the domain of the enthusiast to the realm of the mainstream consumer. Wozniak later placed Terrell's purchase order in perspective: 'That was the biggest single episode in all of the company's history. Nothing in subsequent years was so great and so unexpected.
As RR notes,"This is an extraordinary, museum-quality piece of tech history." The auction ends on August 24 and the current bid is $55,527. RR Auction has a ton of Apple memorabilia you can bid on including a handwritten draft made by Steve Jobs for an Apple I advertisement , Jobs' business cards when he was president of NeXT and chairman and CEO of Pixar , a fully operational Apple 1 in a homemade case signed by Wozniak , a sealed unopened 8GB 2007 iPhone , and more.
