Love the "2 cheap cameras" , and they'll be gutted to know that I don't feel the urge to 'upgrade'."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I popped in to the aPplesTore today to see if they were still selling iPad1's, and they appeared to be. Lots of people were playing with them as usual and an iSalesman was showing an old lady how it worked. I didn't see any discount prices, at least not ones on big red signs with discount written on them. I was tempted to tell the old lady to wait a few weeks. Hope she didn't buy it expecting to be able to make video calls to her orphaned granchildren on it, having spent all her pension buying it.Comment

An Apple 1, complete in its original packaging, sold at auction for £133,250.00 A pretty tidy profit considering the computer cost $666.66 when it was first went on sale in July 1976.
A spokesman for Christie’s in London said it was “a record for a personal computer sold at auction”.
The computer featured 8k of RAM and an 8-bit 6502 microprocessor. The lot included a letter from “Steven Jobs” and the return address on the packaging was his parents’ house.
The Apple 1 was shipped without a monitor or even a keyboard. It was discontinued in 1977, replaced by the iconic Apple II.
Steve Wozinak, one of the co-founders of Apple, was present at the auction. Speaking afterwards he said he had gave the computer away “I gave them away for free. It was really just an attempt to help people move the world forward”.Comment
