Baumi,
I was just about to post that link, that looks like the SE I have, and as it said only a limited number of them were actually done. I have one of them it was personally give to me long with the Duo and Duo Dock.
Anyway, I am thinking about letting the LC go, with the Apple IIe card and joysticks and disk drives I have for the LC.

Thanks guys, this is a great idea, I was going to have my own computer museum of sorts but just not have the space for it. Everything I have is sitting in storage boxes and have not seen the light of days in years.
I had not thought about the insurance thing, I should get these covered like my other fine art and collectables.

Good questions it has been so long since I actually turned it on I do not remember, I'll have to dig out a power supply since the battery is completely dead.
I'll fire it up and take a few pictures, However, I do believe it was color since it was being develop at the same time the Duo 270 & 280 was coming out.
This thread must have caught some attention, I just looked at the number of viewings and it is over 6000 for a discussion group that usually only gets a few hundred.
i think you shouldnt sell them (they are like RARE diamonds 
).
i think you should ask apple/get legal advise before you sell them, cause technically they still belong to apple because they have never been released
but i might be worng

Insure the tablet. Back up its hard drive. Keep it safe.
That think is so damn cool. I don't think you realize just how neat it is. You had to have had one of the best jobs at Apple-- working on stuff and then, if it got canceled, got to take home the prototype.
Damn.... If I could buy those, I would.... but I can't. Still, that table is the coolest thing I have seen in YEARS.

Copyright
You could be spot on here, copyright is such a grey area and you know how Apple respond to people who infinge their designs.
I would keep them for your old age, think of it as your pension!

This topic has travel beyond borders, cause I have read it in a Spanish forum. Even in french forums are talking about this amazing stuff you have.
Why don't you try to put them in an auction, and find out how much people are intended to pay?

wouldn't that be a form of fraud?
if anything, you are creating false hopes, not a nice thing to do
Well the Duo is a release product so there is no issue there, and there is no law about something that was heading to a land fill being saved for the future.
Not sure how I am creating false hope, false hope apple might create a tablet computer or that I might sale it.
Well I am not sure what they are worth, from others who have rare apple things like this they say no one is willing to pay anything for them. Everyone likes the idea of having something like these in a collections but not worth paying for.
I think people who own Apples pay so much for their computer they do not have extra money to buy anything else
Well I am glad people are enjoying looking at these, and I hope to dig out the other pieces and show them to everyone soon.

Droolworthy to say the least. I'd say you may well break 10,000 for the tablet alone. More pics would be fun
Legallity
About the legality of the "ownership", I would look more deepy into this, as things you have taken home from work are still officially owned by the company. Did they give it to you or summit? Also, when a product is decided to be pulled, often all material realting to that product line is recalled by the company.
I think the two things you have shown are great (the tablet the better of the two), and it would be good to see them working.
You may want to try to cantact an author called "Gordon Laing". He has written books on old computers and computing history ("Digital Retro"), and would probably be interested to hear from you.

I love the more oddities that can be found from the person who has this. He has some very cool stuff!
And the tablet is weird...a tablet mac would be cool...it would reduce the criticisms I get for typing all my university notes because I'd be able to write them again
I don't think I can say anything more than what has already been said. Those are some pretty freakin sweet artifacts you have there.
