A floppy disk signed by Steve Jobs up for auction

Steve Jobs signed diskette

If you are talludite, as is my case, it is more than likely that you went through the era of 3,5-inch floppy disks (which replaced the 5 1/4 smaller capacity ones), the usual storage system among mortals in the early 90's, to which on more than one occasion, you would make a hole in the bottom to convert the DD into HD.

Apple has always been one of the first companies to get rid of storage units from their computers, a trend that has been gradually adopted by the competition. In a few days, the RR Auction firm will auction a new collectible: a floppy disk, SD by the way, signed by Steve Jobs and containing a copy of the Macintosh System Tool.

Steve Jobs signed diskette

If we take into account that Steve Jobs was reluctant to sign products created by his company, claiming that the company's products were not the result of him but of a whole team, logically, the price of this object is not what it could have on the market without the signature.

RR Action estimates that the price that this object can reach is around 7.500 dollars. The diskette is in good condition, and Jobs's signature is a bit blurred, but it has been certified by this auction company. Floppy disks of that time, especially dual-density ones, were very sensitive so it probably won't work.

In the details of the bid it is not mentioned whether the floppy actually contains the information shown on the sticker with the name of the application. But what really matters about this item for Apple collectors is that it passed through their hands and signed. The auction of the floppy disk signed by Steve Jobs will end on December 3 at 7:00 ET.
