The Red Book is always a nice thing to have and
definitely added value
to this machine. The other documentation is also very nice.
Yeah, but my Red Book is autographed by Woz!
And it's falling apart from heavy use, which increases its value to
collectors. Well, to this collector, anyhow. :-)
Now I need to get it autographed by Allen Baum. I saw him on Friday,
but didn't have the Red Book with me.
Interesting tidbit learned from Woz's recent lecture at the Computer
History Museum: the original Apple logo was designed by Ron Wayne,
the third founder of Apple. This was the logo showing Newton sitting
under the Apple tree, with the inscription "A mind forever voyaging
through strange seas of thought... alone". Wouldn't quite cut it as
a company motto these days. :-)
