I assume at this point it's all museum stuff. Adlib gold card for $3200, 
Apple 1's in the stratosphere (Steve Jobs worship.) There isn't that much 
practical use for any of it outside of history. But scareness and 
specultive mania drives demand I suppose.

I would think any application with that much demand has been ported or 
re-written by now.
