An original Apple-1 computer sells for $400k
Yes, all parts are still available although some are getting scarce/expensive. There's a UK chap who occasionally makes replicas:

If you want the experience without the cost, there's a 6502-Arduino hybrid you can build:

The bare boards often come up on eBay.

Steve Wozniak’s operating system rewritten in Python to learn how it works
Oh cool! Honestly I was just referring to the repo (https://github.com/smartykit/apple1) which looks like it hasn't had any activity in a long while. I just assumed a single developer lost interest or something (fairly typical with GH projects). Glad to see your project is still going. Didn't mean to slag on your work!

Steve Wozniak’s 256 bytes operating system in 6502 assembler: how it works? Free webinar
Who we are? We are SmartyKit team (www.smartykit.io) that has built DIY Apple-1 kit to help geeks understand how computers work by building their own computer compatible with the first computer of Woz and Jobs, on breadboards with real chips without emulation - 6502 CPU, ROM and RAM chips, 3-8 and 4-16 decoders, NAND and AND logic gates and Arduino’s ATMega328 controllers for Video and Keyboard (PS/2). Woz supported us, let us use his operating system in our kit and get the first one delivered. We also delivered it to John Carmack, creator of Quake and Doom, screenwriter of Rick and Morty (https://twitter.com/heathercampbell/status/1379920023247060997?s=21), Facebook VP AR/VR (https://twitter.com/boztank/status/1389815365719400452?s=21) and many others. One of our clients already posted his SmartyKit even here on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/VintageApple/comments/mlyfd8/just_got_this_in_the_mail_modern_vintage_or/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb
