He paid $2600. and then opened the box.

"Ultimately, I decided that I didn't buy it as a financial investment. I bought it so I could stay up until 4 o'clock in the morning playing Oregon Trail."

Hey, if he got that much joy from it, who's to say it isn't a bargain?

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing the link. The Apple //c was my first computer. Here's a link to his unboxing photos on flickr:

I still have an old Apple IIc and an original Apple II. The latter was one of the first 10000 Apple IIs ever made. One day I'll mount it in a plexiglass case and it it on the wall.

I posted that about 2 weeks ago...

So, what are you saying, fritz fritz? That I need to check with you before posting something on the MRF?

If so, here's my response:

Mr. Lahey: A lot of people, don’t know how to drink. They drink against the grain of the liquor. And when you drink against the grain of the liquor? You lose.

Randy: What the @#$%& are you talking about?

No problem. I'm just giving Jpoo some poo.

That guy was on one of Leo LaPorte's podcasts-- either TWiT or Mac Break Weekly.

Interesting guy, That was his first computer, so he decided he had to have another and had been trying for a NIB version. Finally succeeded.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
