Complete bullshit. Total and complete bullshit. First of all, Woz
signatures on anything aren't in very high demand, especially where the
general public is concerned, and specifically even in the computer
collector realm. Sure Woz is cool, great, etc. But if you want Woz's
signature on a computer, go find a Woz edition Apple //gs. Those are
plentiful.
Second of all, it's a Mac. Big deal. Is it a prototype Mac? Then maybe
it would justify the appraisal. But it was probably just a regular old
original Mac. Wow.
Move the decimal point over one digit to the left and then you're getting
a much more accurate appraisal, if still not inflated a bit.
Let's wait for it to show up on eBay. It won't even reach $1,000.
