At one time purchased from Frank Anderson, an electronics dealer in Great Falls, Montana, by Craig Solomonson for MECC.
Craig reports that this computer was sold by Jobs and shipped from his parents' address. Woz seemed a bit confused when Craig showed him the invoice and asked about it. He said, "Not sold by us, although Jobs may have sold it without telling me."
Sold by Craig to Jesse Sackman in California.
