Baque asked one of the world's leading handwriting authentication services to compare the serial numbers on two of the Apple 1 boards with known samples of Steve's writing. However, since Steve rarely signed autographs, making his signature and handwriting especially valuable, the potential impact on the value of the machines with serial numbers meant that as much certainty as possible was needed.
This, it turned out, would not be a trivial task.ĭespite Steve Jobs' denial, the handwriting on the boards did seem to match his. Achim Baque, who maintains the Apple-1 Registry (a listing of all Apple 1 computers), finally decided to try to solve the mystery. Likewise for Byte Shop owner Paul Terrell, who bought a batch of 50 of them. Daniel Kottke, who assembled and tested some of the boards, said it wasn't him. Steve Wozniak said that he didn't write them. He does, though, sometimes comment on the company, siding with Apple against the FBI but expressing concern at the complexity of the Apple Watch line-up.An anonymous reader quotes a report from 9to5Mac: Apple geeks may be aware of the mystery of the handwritten Apple 1 serial number present on some of the surviving machines. Woz retains an honorary position with Apple, but does not play an active role. The prize is one-on-one time with Woz, but as this is described as time with him ‘at an exclusive cocktail party,’ it’s not clear that this is the kind of consultancy input entrants might hope for.
