    Of course the really impressive thing here is the fact that Steve could type, on a typewriter, with almost no mistakes. Typewriters were evil.

    I saw what I thought was an Apple I at a garage sale, but I was not sure. The guy wanted $40 for it, he said, "It's an old Apple computer". Later I checked the interwebs, and sure enough, I passed on a $40 Apple I.

    @gallahad:

    how do you insure something that is irreplaceable? obviously the buyer wants the apple more than he wants $50k, so insuring it for $50k isn't really the greatest option.

    @ripfire: They havent instituted set limits till recently, but they will end an auction when it is excessive. -- Just a way for them to collect more fees, cause they dont get a percent of shipping.

    As a follow-up to the Giz trip to the Apple Store post this week, I would love to see the owner of this take the motherboard into the Genius Bar to get help hooking it all up. This is pretty outstanding, and never ending kudos to the two Steve's for such a fine starting point to the modern consumer technology extravaganza we live in today.
