First Apple, Once Owned by Star Trek Creator, to be Auctioned

Gene-Roddenberry-sz-091809.jpg We can't even imagine how insane it would be to own the first ever Apple Macintosh Plus, serial number 0001. Auction House, Profiles in History, is starting the bidding wars for the historical piece next month. While you thought it couldn't get any cooler, turns out this very first model was given to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry by Apple.
