Rare, one of a kind Apple history up for auction!
OK guys - better hurry for this one. Only five days left to bid on a completely unique Apple computer. We should see if we can raise the money - this is something that the museum really ought to have. Someone in NYC could pick it up so it wouldn't be damaged in shipping. https://new.liveauctioneers.com/item/47131179 -Ian

This made my day. :) In case anyone is having a super-dense day, IAN IS JOKING.
I may have been responsible for that one :-) On Wednesday, August 17, 2016, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

How so? Did you try to clean a Mac with gasoline whilst smoking? Or is this what happens when you screw up the formula for the Retr0brite? -Ian

Someone will be $100 because they have no clue what something like that is worth. Blind and ignorant bidders are what I call them. On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 1:17 PM, David Hoelzer < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Well, that doesn't sound rare, sounds more like well done. While I haven't seen the device, I think I'm getting mental picture of the blob.

Oh oh, they executed the 68000 halt and melt down instruction. Looks like a melted one fetches a better price than an unmelted one. On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 3:34 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I can still see it from the original link. Does this list allow images? If so, here it is: [image: Inline image 1] On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 7:08 PM, Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Well, maybe the bidder is planning on using it as an art display. Just curious if it could be made functional again looking like that. (Although don't know how you'd be able to put a floppy disk in a slot that looks like that, maybe an external). On Wednesday, August 17, 2016, Joseph S.

Yes, that is Apple's prototype for a new kind of mac, before they made the iMac they experimented with different "organic" shapes and designs. On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 12:31 PM, Ian Primus via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
