That would be a lot of money just for something to play with... those machines are EXPENSIVE on eBay. I think there were only a few hundred made, and of course not all of the ones that were made are still around, so they're really rare collectors' items, and their value is huge - I've read articles about them selling for five-digit amounts of money.

Uh, they weren't released on 3rd January... And if you want your own, there's a book on how to build one (Wozniak distributed the schematics to the homebrew computer club).

almost. yes. He just manipulate the already invented wired comunication called ARPANET and he find out a way to use it just for the board and the TV, and it was a great manipulation and it work out great! the real from the ground computer was the Apple ][ that was the truly first Apple Computer and the best Woz made.

ARPAnet was not very similar to the internet of today. It was very dissimilar actually. It was a network of computers spanning a large geographic distance. But it didn't use a single, standardized protocol for transferring data, and it certainly didn't provide large scale public interaction, or commerce, or information retrieval. There was no web, at all, and there (rather obviously) wasn't any kind of graphical interface for anything on ARPAnet.
That said, ARPAnet might have been very similar to the internet of 1984...
