Re: Packing list for original Apple II?

["Bryan Villados" <news002@macgeek.org>]

I think it's really more of a collectors item than for practical use.
Collectors like it because it contains hand-written notes and schematics by
Steve Wozniak, which gives it some historical value. Virtually anything
written by hand by Woz or Jobs is worth quite a bit of money. I remember
someone was selling a cancelled check, signed by Steve Jobs, for about $50.
I think the red book in fine condition is really worth the $100.
