A little bit of history

They are auctioning off a mint Apple I computer, expected to sell for $161,600 - $248,200. This machine came out in 1976, with 8K of RAM and a computer that ran at 1 Mhz. The computer I wrote this on has a million times more RAM and has two processors that run over 2500 times faster.

The man who sold a $22 billion share in Apple for $800

Ron Wayne co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. At the beginning he owned 10% of the company. Today that 10% would be worth $22 billion. Alas, Wayne sold his 10% back for $800 before Apple succeeded. A rough investment decision! More details at CNN here.
With a tip'o'the hat to Uncle Eric.
