Dell "Oldest PC" winner on zdnet

<Sure, but the Dell machine is worth considerably more at the moment. So <it's a good deal. If he's going for the long term investment, he could <sell it immediately and re-invest the money in 4 more Altairs... it was an Altair 8800B, maybe even turnkey version (NO FP) wich was at the time a very good s100 system but nowhere near as collectable as the original version. Also I'd bet they'd spend a lot for time trying to resurect any any pickings they'd find to that level of operation. Now it's in some corperate hands and from there it can be lost, damaged, or should the company fold or change hands become some excess furniture. I sincerely doubt it will run much and even if it does it's less likely they would know what to do with it.
