Why will some people pay a ridiculous amount of money for a square inch
or so of paper with some ink on it? (known as a rare postage stamp, of
course). I think I'd rather have an Apple 1 :-)
And to get back on topic, why is a Sinclar ZX80 (which I don't own) worth
many times the value of an HP workstation (which is a much better
designed and built machine)?
To be honest, I don't care about the value of my machines. If I see
somethign that iterensts me and which I can afford, then I'll probably
buy it.

If the seller feels this unit is worth more than
the others, then he
should price it at a slight premium vs. the others, for example $30k vs.
$20-25k. However $50k is insane, especially in this economy.
Maybe someone can explain this to me - what the heck is the big deal about
Apple 1s? Obviously I'm in the crowd that just doesn't get it - but there's a
big crowd out there that *does* get it - whatever "it" is.
