Macintoshes ever, the Mac Plus. The company [1]gave the first one
(serial
number #F4200NUM0001) to Star Trek's creator, Gene Roddenberry. And now
this very Mac Plus will go up for auction at a Hollywood collectibles
event on October 8th and 9th, complete with a letter of authenticity
from
Roddenberry's son. The estimated value is only $800-$1200, which seems
reasonable enough, given its double historical significance." Any bets
on
how high the bidding will go?
