Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are co-founders of the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), and you certainly know the story of the creation of the company whose products we use in our daily lives, but you probably don't know what happened before that. Apple is the great achievement of co-founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, but before they produced computers, they did something else entirely.
More precisely, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak created the so-called blue boxes, some illegal products that allowed free phone calls from anywhere in the US to any phone number. These blue boxes played a series of special ringtones through a speaker that allowed the holder to make free phone calls.
Although these devices were illegal, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak produced a few and sold them before they thought of creating the Apple company, and one of them is now for sale. It is speculated that this would be the first device of this kind put up for auction, out of the hundreds created at that time, and the asking price is almost 68.000 dollars.
Steve Jobs once said that if those devices had not been created, it is possible that Apple would never have come into being, but of course this could be an exaggeration of the former Apple president. Even if the starting amount for the auction is 68.000 dollars, in reality the device could sell for a much higher amount, but it remains to be seen who will be willing to pay it.
