I can't ID the Macs, because "Apple ][ Forever" people don't dig Macs. I can point out that there is an Apple //e, an Apple //c, a Lisa, and an Apple /// in that lot, none of which are Macs. The NeXT Cube isn't even an Apple.

Not just a Mac collection as it has a bunch of Apple II's, but sadly no IIgs. That's the computer I first fell in love with. Most kids my age back then were into Playboys. I was lusting after the back cover of some computer magazine that had the IIgs on it. But then a friend told me how much better the Amigas were than any silly old Apple product and I switched allegiances. Those were the days...

I would love some of those cattle and auto auctioneers to run the show.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;CITxLRXPk1U?t=6" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;CITxLRXPk1U?t=6</a>

Don&#x27;t forget the <i>25%</i> (!!) extra fee tacked on to the final price. Definitely not for the bargain hunter.

that&#x27;s pretty impressive but just earlier today i saw this: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;denver.craigslist.org&#x2F;sys&#x2F;5732303316.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;denver.craigslist.org&#x2F;sys&#x2F;5732303316.html</a>

I worked at Tekserve for 2 years. It&#x27;s quite interesting to hear the strong emotional responses that many people express about its closing.

US$29,000? I think you could probably put that together yourself for quite a bit under that price (including a machine or two signed by Woz...)

I used to have an Apple ][ and it&#x27;s one of my few regrets that I sold it when I did. Luckily, I&#x27;ve still got the IIGS but it&#x27;s not quite the same. I never made it to Tekserve before they closed either...maybe that&#x27;s 2 regrets now.

I really want to know what happened to that nickel coke machine. I bought a soda from it every time I went, which was often when I was working @ Yodle on W23rd.
