History

John Barkley Anderson was a founding member of the AppleSiders user group in Ohio. This unit was said to have been presented to John when Woz was a keynote speaker at the first Applevention, though this story needs confirmation. This unit was sold by Mr. Anderson's family at Bonham's auction in October 2014. The purchaser was the Henry Ford Museum, who paid the then-record US$905,000.
