[cctalk] Re: Apple 1

For no personally good reason other than the stigma (and technically incorrect) being the first PC, the Altair 8800 is my holy Grail. Some day I'd like to have a real one but they increase in value at the same rate as my income lol so not likely going to happen. It's a neat system though and like a lot of people I like blinken lights and flip switches. Still feels science fantasy to me. Less systems being around makes all of these popular systems go up in price with supply and demand. Not sure what would make the market go down unless hundreds were found somewhere and flooded the market. But it's interesting as less kids would have heard of any of these systems so maybe history becomes less interesting and valuable at some point?
