I wonder how often it will happen again going forward now that we are in the age of "helicopter parenting" where parents over-supervise every activity their children are engaged in. Kids today can't even go to Little League practice without their hovering parents sitting out there in lawn chairs cheering every time they properly field a ground ball. Then after practice, it's right into a mini-van for the obligatory trip to a ice cream stand where the parent carefully selects a treat that conforms to some specific caloric value that the parent deems appropriate.
Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs were basically left to their own devices and did not get a lot of parental interference as they tinkered away and began to build their business.
That’s funny.
I thought it was overpriced in ‘76 for what it did (just another DEC bigot at the time...).
But it really was a great machine for its architecture, and Wozniak doesn’t get enough credit for what he did. Some of my former colleagues worked with him on the IWM (Incredible Woz Machine, the disk drive) and they said he was a great Engineer and a good guy...unlike his dark, moody buddy...the other Steve.
Somewhere in someone’s attic or storage unit sits one of these babies waiting for me to find it...when the unwitting owner sells it at a yard sale for $5.
a functioning 1976 model - has been sold for a record 516,000 euros ($668,000).
I’ve hung onto my 2 TRS-80’s (with, the Expansion Interface and 2 5.25” Disk Drives) awaiting the day...
I have a couple old clunkers they could buy.
Ping!
