Transparent Mac SE Up For Auction At $25,000

If you’re interested in rare items from computing history and happen to have a lot of money, you might be interested to know that a transparent Mac SE was put up for auction recently on eBay with a starting bid of $25,000. The machine was originally meant for internal use only and was created with a transparent body so that designers could see component placement inside the finished product. Apparently only 10 such computers are known to still exist, but nobody placed any bids on this item. Did the $25,000 price tag scare folks away?

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
