Hi Jules
I'm with you. I have at least two machines in my collection that
are as rare or even rarer than an Apple 1 and I run them when
I can.

How many people with original Apple I's would
run them very often if at all?
I'd run it if I had one. The way I figure it:
a) Those ICs are going to die eventually anyway, whether I run it or not,
b) There's enough knowledge of the machine out there that we don't need to
preserve operational ones for historical research purposes,
c) The price of Apple I's is just silly.
... although in reality if I had one I'd trade it for something more appealing
(or, given the ridiculous value, lots of things that were more appealing :-)
