Man, that is seriously weird! I remember when these were being marketed. First pre-assembled computer? The board was pre-assembled (during a period when most of the competition sold you an unpopulated bare board), but this thing is far from a complete system. And  no OS, which is OK since the cassette interface costs extra (what disk drive?)!

Its not heavy enough to be an anchor. Now my old SWTPC SS50 system filled with cement? That would do fine.

Strange that the predecessor to the Apple II would sell for so much when Apple IIs themselves are worth very little. The most expensive (the IIGS, IIc, and IIe) are still trading for far less than a used Amiga.
Probably because of the numbers made and the fact that in comparison the Apple II looks much cruder.

Hey, everybody! Keep this to yourself, Woz isn't supposed to know (Jobs sold his computer).
