[cctalk] Re: Seattle’s Living Computers Museum logs off for good as Paul Allen estate will auction vintage items

I think that's a bit of a silly question. For one thing, "executor" is a status assigned by a probate court, and courts usually don't just make stuff up. For another, one thing auction houses take extremely seriously is "provenance" which amounts to "what, precisely, is the thing being auctioned, and how did it come to be the property of the owner?" If there's doubt about proper title, it's not likely a shop like Christie's would touch the thing. paul
