Yes, the price will shoot up in the last moments of the auction, but I
think even a final five figure price will be a bargain.

As a class of machines, I would call it the "Holy Grail". Certainly there
have been machines that have been rarer, had a bigger impact on people
and engineering, or effected business in some way, but so far, the Apple 1s
take the prize for prestige.
