Apple Fans Bidding on Autographed 1st Issue of Macworld

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

Craigtay writes "Some Apple fans are opening their wallets to buy an old magazine, but not just any old magazine. This first edition of Macworld, which was released in 1984 (and apparently contains an interview with Bill Gates), is signed by Steve Jobs. The bidding is currently above the $2,000 mark. News.com has done a news story here and click here for the eBay page." Thats ummm.... special? It amuses me that the reserve isn't met yet either. ;)

    Jobs has a fairly distinctive signature, and the one on the mag looks a lot like the one in the PDF you linked to. And they both look like what's molded into the case of the very early Macs.I'd be inclined to believe that this is legit.

  3. Woz is cool, though by oaklybonn · · Score: 3, Interesting
    I met Woz at the Computer History Museum last month, and brought along a copy of my 1977 Byte in which he describes the architecture of the upcoming Apple II.

    He signed it, no fuss, and I shook his hand. He's just a hell-of-nice guy.

    Another fellow brought his Disk ][ and had it signed.

    Still, I don't think either of will be attempting to sell these off anytime soon.

    BTW: an issue 1 of Macworld is currently going for about $40 on eBay.

    You should see what I paid for a vial of Steve Jobs' semen in late 2001.

    And yes it's really semen, one ejaculation's worth. I tasted a little.

    I don't really know if it's Steve's, but the woman who sold it to me said she was 100% sure.

    It does seem to give off a little of Steve's power when I hold it near. Which I do often, though usually I keep it in the freezer.

    Anyway, I hope I can use it to make more Steves someday, if he ever passes away (which I hope he doesn't).

    Time to caress my new Xserve and generate some of my own semen, if you know what I mean. I love Macs. Very much.
