An original Apple I with original doc is for such worth some $$$ today.

But even an early Apple II is worth nothing... too many were sold (tell me if I'm wrong, I have 2 here).

--------------

BTW the Apple I was very near to the Mac mini: no keyboard (the embedded keyboard was introduced with the Apple II), no monitor. And similar pricing ! (the US high-end Mac mini is $699).

--------------

Memory stick price did not change: $120.... just its capacity was multiplied by a good 128'000 ! 4 kB -> 512 MB

I managed to get ~$500 for an Apple II Bell & Howell Edition earlier this year. Motherboard was dated 1979, it was in practically mint condition. Black case. A whopping 1 mhz. It was basically an Apple II+ with the funky keyboard that had keys in different spots.

If you go looking for the graphic designer from the 80s who designed that logo, you're going to be looking for a very, very, very long time... he/she doesn't exist.

Any Apple/Macintosh user should know that Apple Computer was founded in the 70s, not the 80s.

A simple search on the same site that logo was found on reveals this trivial bit of information:

MacPlus case is signed by the whole team (in the inside).

I have a mac classic that I grew up with. still works beautifully, despite being dropped down the stairs back in '92. I used to use HyperCard on it for hours and hours to make short animations. I have about 40+ floppy disks full of HyperCard crap!

I thought that the first Mac had a signed case (inside), and it lived on through the few models after that, until what was in the case changed enough that many of the names started to be covered over with the guts of the machine.
