Apple 1 launch price $600. Googles ai said 1k investment at 1980's IPO worth 2.5m today. So if you invested 600 that is 1.5m. It would have sat idle 1976 to 1980.

So board #0 beat the stock price but only just. And I am comparing board 0 to any old apple 1.

Someone needs to create a Fallout 4 module that has the vibe of “Citizen Kane”.

If I was a billionaire I hope I’d buy artifacts like this and donate them for posterity. This is a really cool piece of history.
