The pre-production Apple 1 auctioned via CharityBuzz and displayed at
VCF West closed just now for $1,210,000. Blows away the old record of
$900-something. Amazing!!!

Wow, how extraordinary a price for such a boring (in terms of design if not
impact), well-understood, easy-to-replicate computer.
You can be sure it wasn't a vintage computer enthusiast as much as a
business enthusiast who got it... :)
Sorry I'm such a hater, I've just never understood the Apple 1 thing very
much.

For buyers with that kind of dough, it's not about the computer, it's
about bragging rights.
