Nevermind, I misunderstood. In the place where BM wrote "Speaking of the
Apple 1, I just noticed the winning bidder is the same guy who bought that
'hobby computer'...", I thought he meant the guy who bought the real Apple
1, who isn't yet known (at least to me).
Instead, BM meant our friend Dennis Komisky again. Dennis, please, check in
with us here on cctalk!!

Was there more than one Apple 1 for sale? The one mentioned on this list on
July 21 was withdrawn with no bids. (Although the seller, Steve Fish,
happily answers his email.)

Speaking of the Apple 1, I just noticed the winning bidder is the same guy
who bought that "hobby computer in a wooden case" that was the subject of
such wild speculation a few weeks back. He also bought an NRI 832, which I
have heard claimed to predate the Kenbak and be in fact the first computer
kit ever marketed.
Does anyone know the real scoop on that?
