You never know--I recall a replica of the monolith from "2001: A Space Odyssey" being turned out sometime in the early 70's at Lawrence Livermore out of some exotic metal as a bootleg project. Your tax dollars at work... Back to the Apple I--is there inherently anything unique to the Apple I to prevent the market from being flooded with fakes? At even $5K, it might be a great cottage industry for someone who's become tired of forging postal money orders. Particularly if said forger was located in a country with lots and lots of old "pulls" that are usually being offered on the net whenever one looks for datasheets... My point is that it's not irreplaceable, like, say, a 1000 year old sequoia or Abraham Lincoln's fingernail clippings... It would seem to me that any intrinsic value would be hard to assess. --Chuck
