Probably Apple //'s, not the original release -- Apple didn't start

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

local grade school just dumped 25 of the original
Apple II's for $100 for
all of them with the printers, software and drives. They've had them since
they were new under the "donation" system that Apple had for schools back
then. The person that boght them (not me) sold them for $25 a set and sold
them all in less than a week to people in this an surrounding counties -
people that are anything from collectors to users.
That was a lucky person. In my estimation straight Apple ]['s are getting
hard to find. I searched for 3 months last year and could only come up
with 1. Of course this will all change when they start going for $1000 on
eBay, and the 50,000 people who bought Apple ]['s back in 1977 catch wind
of this and start emptying out their closets.
