Very Early Apple Up For Auction

They think it will fetch around half a million BUT what I found interesting was the original sales price:
 
$666
 
(actually, $666.66 ... not sure if that makes it any less or more demonic)

    Yeah, a common misbelief is that 666 is the devil's # or is tattooed on some "antichrist". The world has had a lot of fun with that notion. But the official description reads "a man's number."
     
    ... now that should make one pause just a bit.
     
    On the bright side this means your apple is safe, for the moment anyway.

    And I thought $4,000 was ridiculous for an Apple 1 a few years ago. Maybe if it was the original hand-wired prototype from Woz's garage workbench, for its historical significance. But a half-million? Geez, there are obviously people in this world with way too much money to burn.
     
    Heck, for that kind of money you could have bapu's entire plugin collection.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.
