Hmm, Sync used to be the name of a Sinclair magazine.

Sweet plug!! :)
How much would his Apple sell for? He isn't sure.
Ismail estimates no more than $300, if Ballos has all the original
materials; author Nadeau puts it at a more modest $200.
Oh well, I still have to learn that the caveats never get through the
noise when you're talking to a reporter. I told him $300 if it's brand
new, in the box, all the manuals, original system disks etc.
For now, it seems, the Apple IIc that Ballos got for
Christmas in 1986
is still a tad too young to be worth real money.
Yeah, keep waiting.
Anyway, one of the better articles on the subject I've read. Not too many
errors and they were very minor at that.
