The Macintosh Studio is nice to look at, but it doesn’t hold a candle to this extremely rare Apple ‘Twiggy’ Macintosh prototype. How did it gets its name? Well, the original plan was for Apple to use a 5 ¼-inch Twiggy drive on the computer, as it designed to greatly expand the capacity of standard floppy disks.
This prototype has received the Model Number #M0001 and was saved from destruction by the developers of the original MacWrite word processing program. Steve Jobs originally ordered all of these prototypes to be destroyed due to the high failure rate of Twiggy drives. Those interested can bid on it here between October 13-23, 2024.

There are occasionally short windows in time when incredibly important things get invented that shape the lives of humans for hundreds of years. These events are impossible to anticipate, and the inventors, the participants, are often working not for reasons of money, but for the personal satisfaction of making something great. The development of the Macintosh computer was one of these events, and it has changed our lives forever. Every computer today is basically a Macintosh, a very different type of computer from those that preceded it,” said Steve Wozniak.
