Gene Roddenberry’s Mac Comes Up for Auction
September 20, 2009 by Cynthia
Profiles in History has a very special item going to auction at the beginning of October — an early production Macintosh computer that was given to Gene Roddenberry by Apple.
When you look at the evolution of computers and the vision Roddenberry had for Star Trek, there’s an incredible synergy between the two. At the time, it was hard to imagine a computer that responded to voice commands, a computer no bigger than a lunch box that could analyze complex data in a matter of seconds, a flip “communicator” that allowed people to talk without the need for phone lines. But Gene Roddenberry saw it all and it wasn’t as far fetched as people thought. Because while he was imagining it, Apple Computers was making it so.
Gene Roddenberry’s Mac comes with a signed letter of provenance from Gene Roddenberry’s son, Rod and it will be up for auction through Profiles in History on October 8-9, 2009. It has an estimated sale price of $800-$1200. Worldwide bidding begins at 12:00 PM (noon) both days and can be placed either in person, via mail, phone, fax or live on the Internet at:
