Interesting. The picture show what looks like an Apple II keyboard in a 
metal and wood cabinet with an Apple logo on it. Now, it could be a pre-
production Apple II, or it could be just some case someone made 
themselves to house an Apple II or clone motherboard.

I do know that if _I_ had a rare, interesting or valuable item I would 
go to more trouble describing what it was. The complete description 
given is "serial number 2 apple computer". That's it. They didn't even 
bother to add ***RARE!***.

feel good to know that our computers were being used to target nuclear
weapons in Europe. The only bright side of it was that at least they
weren't [Radio Shack] TRS-80s! Thank God for that."
