Subject: Would You Pay $200,000 for an Original Apple Computer?
I saw this article about a Christie's auction and
found it "funny" in a
way. It will be interesting to find out what it actually brings.

There is no single computer item (or groups of computer stuff) I would ever
want to spend $200,000 for. Heck I would be pissed to find I sunk even $20K
into my collection over the last 10 years.
The only thing good about multi millionaires dumping obscene money into
collectables is the money gets back into the economy, and eventually the
item gets put into a museum for others to see (mostly because the collector
doesn't want somebody else to own it after they croak).
