Even as an investment, it isn't all that impressive. It just goes to show how one should consider computers as expenses, not investments.$666.66 to $80,000 in 36 years, is only growth of about 15% per annum. I know, I know, with stocks and real estate being a bit of a crap-shoot, this is still good money... but how many of us are hoarding lots of useless, let's face it, crap, in a forlorn hope that it will be worth something some day? The chances of that old laser printer or Mac SE being worth anything significant in 20 years time are closer to nil than your chances of winning the lottery.
A unit such as this may have a long-dead EPROM in it. Or maybe not.
I used to make EPROMs back in the late '70s (as a product engineer, that is), and while the spec for data retention was generally for only 5 years, the test results indicated that the ones that met the basic spec would have flawless data retention many times that. Of course, "now" (~35 years later) would currently be 7 times the original spec.
OK, so the working one was $375,000 and this one is $125,000 because it's not working.
So buy it, get AppleCare and then resell for a $250,000 profit.![]()

Don't wanna be a party pooper, but seriously... they would have to pay ME to drive that garbage to the recycling yard. Or, in fact, I will drive it to recycling if one gives me a Raspberry Pi for it, i.e. something useful.
