Maybe we need a contest giving away an Apple 1

If someone's willing to donate one then sure!
I'll donate the wooden case. Do you think if we put a 'vintage'
keyboard in it (i.e. one without the 'windows' keys around the spacebar)
it will fool them??
(there's probably a 'trick' involving a PIC controller or something to
convert a PS/2-type keyboard into a parallel strobing keyboard which
would make it work with an Apple 1. However, both the PIC and the
keyboard controller on the keyboard itself would be more powerful than
the 6502 in the Apple 1)
Or just buy a Replica-1 Apple-1 replica. Vince Briel has been wonderful
in providing Replica-1's as give aways at the past few VCF's. Please
support him today by buying one!
