Interesting to see vintage computing hardware is beginning its sale on real auctions other than online store.
I have read the articles two times, but could not find the unusual story.
what is it ?
BTW: I suspect the IMSAI 8080 will run higher than apple I.

Thanks guys. It was a surprise for me too. I'm proud to have been asked to help out on the site that has been my home for such a long time. You will be seeing more of me as time goes on - I might have given up collecting, but you're not getting rid of me so easily:D

Pretty rare these days, that you read computer news written by someone that ACTUALLY knows what they are writing about. Smile
