Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

I thought Apple was created in 1976? April 1st, to be precise?

(no, I normally don't have that kind of knowledge in my brain - I only know this because we just used it as our final jeopardy question with my gifted kids)

Had one just like that my junior year in college. It was a glorified type writer.

Apple Computer, the company, was started in 1976.

Macintosh, the computer, was launched in 1984.

Ah! Got it! And yes, my question specifically said the company was started with the Apple I computer. :)

Don't sell even if it stopped working... turn it into a real aquarium or something. :)

Nope, but I'm selling just about everything else.

That item listed as "Mac OS X Pubic Beta" ... is that intentional?

Yep. Apple released a public beta of Mac OS X back in 2000. It was quite the piece of crap beast. It was slow as hell and nothing at all like the OS X that we have today. That came with OS X 10.1. For example, the original beta had the Apple "Menu" in the center of the screen at the top, and iirc, it did nothing. Just there for show. It was horrible.

It's a folly to buy it collector's item now.

If you have a morbid curiosity about this, wiki has an article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Public_Beta

For a look at how Apple explained the workings of the Mac, they made an "explanatory" video in 1983. They introduced concepts such as "icon" "mouse" and "desktop."

George, I think Ax was referring to the fact that you listed it as "pubic" beta.
