Gene Roddenberry's Mac Plus Is Coming Up For Auction

Posted by kdawson on from the perfect-storm-of-gadget-lust dept.

Harry writes "In 1986, Apple unveiled one of the most popular Macintoshes ever, the Mac Plus. The company gave the first one (serial number #F4200NUM0001) to Star Trek's creator, Gene Roddenberry. And now this very Mac Plus will go up for auction at a Hollywood collectibles event on October 8th and 9th, complete with a letter of authenticity from Roddenberry's son. The estimated value is only $800-$1200, which seems reasonable enough, given its double historical significance." Any bets on how high the bidding will go?

      What's hard to remove is nigger grease. If you have ever gone to a swimming pool only to find that a bunch of blacks are already swimming in it then you know what nigger grease is all about. It is easiest to see right after they exit the water. It's a thin film on the surface of the water deposited by the vast quantities of oil that their overactive glands produce. Seriously we can be carbon neutral tomorrow if we found a way to make biodiesel out of it as the supply is abundant. Anyway, if you swim in a pool like that you will feel yourself coated with the nigger grease. It is not pleasant. Is there a filter somewhere that can remove even KFC-fortified nigger grease?
