These two young adults were, of course, Steve Jobs and Stephen Gary Wozniak They named their invention the Apple-1 It was the ancestor of the Apple series, and that was the thing Li Du and Hans were looking at now
Hans knew about the Apple-1's value He carefully lifted it up and had a look at the motherboard, reat! We've found a treasure”
