Yes, now that you mention it i did see that. I wasnt impressed, the guy
didnt mention what model it was or any details other than saying it was
one of the original Mac's, which i read to mean it was a classically
shaped small unit, but he didnt have a clue about their being different
models. And of course I highly doubt he has a reference signature to
compare with the one on the computer, so really that message could have
been scribbled on by almost anyone.
And to value it so highly is absurd. Woz is still alive, and even football
players wouldnt charge that much to put their signature on something.
If it was really worth that much, i'd locate Woz (cant be that hard) and
start a buisness with him signing all sorts of junk... And there wasnt any
thought as to WHY Woz would write that message on the back of the computer
and sign it. Just think of what a Woz signed Commodore 64 would be worth!
