When you're talking about collectibles, that is the relevant question. In this case, the value as a collectible is more important than the machine itself. If you're annoyed by that, maybe it's because you haven't distinguished the difference between something being valued for it's function versus it being valued for it's rarity or it's nostalgic factors. Personally, I have at least one ][+, //e, and //gs (Woz), but I don't consider them collectibles. I have them because I love the machines and the software for them. I value them for their functionality and simplicity (and because the //e was my first computer) > I'll add a comment on its value though: unless you have some way > to verify the authenticity of that signature, what she has is a > defaced Apple II. Anybody who would be interested in it for the signature will know Woz's signature well enough to recognize it's authenticity. -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
