Vintage Apple Outshines Art
Share
A story about how a vintage Apple computer became the most interesting piece in a Silicon Valley office, despite being surrounded by expensive art.
"At Shaan's old office at Monkey Inferno, the owner Michael Birch had this place that looked like it was out of a magazine. He had a Macintosh computer there, and every single person who came to our office was absolutely wowed by this thing. There was expensive art all up on the walls - nobody cared about any of that. People saw this old computer, and when we would boot it up and turn it on, they were amazed by it. Every single person noted and commented on it.
What's interesting is you can get one of these vintage Macintosh 2s in good condition for about $500, or one still in the box for around $1,000. Even the colored iMacs from our teenage years - the blue ones - you can get those for about $300 now. For something that's both collectible and interesting to look at, that's incredibly cheap."
