But you come through ''Hybrid'' feeling as if you've gained an insight into one man's obsession and into the filmmaker's own feelings about his family and, eventually, about movies. The drive of Beeghly - the filmmaker's farmer grandfather, who recently died at the age of 102 - to mix and match strains of corn to create the best new type is one of the most unlikely subjects for a film. McCollum's jagged ruminations and you will, too, since ''Hybrid'' is like a fever dream that's both discursive and digressive it takes us inside the director's head as it incorporates time-lapse photography, interviews and found film on Beeghly's life and achievements. The film won the grand prize for best feature at the 2001 Slamdance Film Festival, where the jury obviously responded to the director's melding of texture and technique.

There are only six known examples of the Koa wood case in existence, and this unit is one of them. In the 1970s, Koa wood was abundant and easily accessible, especially on the west coast because it was native to Hawaii, but due to cattle grazing and extensive logging, the Koa tree is now considered much rarer and more expensive. The wooden case that houses this computer is made from Koa wood.

Jobs defended his delivery by pointing out that each box included all necessary elements to compose the machine and further convinced Terrell that ByteShop could make a profit by selling keyboards, monitors, and power supplies within their store as an opportunity to upsell the product. He anticipated 50 all-in-one units that could simply be plugged in by the consumer, an unheard-of concept at the time. When Jobs delivered the 50 Magazine boxes each containing an Apple-1 kit, Paul Terrell was not happy. 50 of the 175 computers were sold to Paul Terrell, owner of ByteShop in Mountain View, California. 175 of them were sold for $666.66, a figure that catered to Wozniak’s love of repeating numbers. Of these, just six ended up in casings made from Koa wood …Ģ00 Apple-1 computers were designed by Steve Wozniak and assembled and tested by Steve Jobs, Patty Jobs (his sister), and Daniel Kottke in the Jobs’ home. Of the 200 computers made, 50 of them were sold through ByteShop as bare boards that required customers to add their own cases, keyboards, monitors, and power supplies. Yep, it’s time for another Apple-1 computer auction, and this one claims to be more special than most. Update: The computer sold for $400k, though the buyer had to pay a total of $500k with the hefty 25% buyer’s premium.
