Which would indicate that several thousand were produced. I personally
would never spend that kind of money on an Apple II, but I guess
everyone has their priorities. I've seen all kinds of outrageous prices
paid for machines like Apple II, Commodores, Sinclairs, etc., which I
really don't consider interesting enough to spend money on.

One of the strangest was a copy of CP/M-86 1.0 in the IBM binder that
sold for nearly $800. I know of at least three placed on the 'net that
would be happy to sell you the same item, NOS, for $30.00 or less.
