Did they finally sell that stupid thing, or did they just say they did?
That dumb thing has been around for over a year now. Everytime I saw the
guy, he was "taking offers". I was going to offer $200-$300 next time I
saw it, but that was last year. It wasn't really a prototype, but rather
a special edition that was made by some rogue engineers inside Apple or
something like that for some comemorative event.

I was talking to a guy one day and he mentioned that it was a fad at one
point to build clone Apple ][s in clear plastic cases.
