We should start the "Darwin Pool" -- bet on how high it'll go for -- then
find a real pool, and throw the buyer and seller in it.

Somebody has put an Apple 1 up, it has been there for five days and
nobody has mentioned it here???
Is everybody on vacation???
There is absolutely no evidence this is an Apple-1.

Lots of keyboards from the era of wooden-cased machines look very similar,
and that photo's too small to really make anything out.
I've seen some *really* bad wooden-cased computers before... :)
This is a mystery grab bag auction, but the bag has a
turd in it.
