Re: An article for a public space and museum at the new Apple campus

It's kind of surprising Apple *doesn't* have an archival collection/museum like this, but it's certainly not something Steve Jobs would have condoned. Now that we're in the post-Jobs era perhaps things are changing. David's drawings look like what I envision my Vintage Mac Museum to look like, if I could afford a display space like that!

Another possibility for Apple acquiring old gear is legal purposes. I've been contacted more than once by attornies working with Apple looking for old hardware and software for research into patent lawsuits.

I don't want to tell too much here, but I was wondering, that a single person spent several thousands of dollars a week for vintage Apple collectables. The second fact was the shipping adress; it was a person adding the famous adress: Infinite Loop 1 in Cupertino and last but not least the name of this person and his real name, concerning his credit card...
