An interesting item, for sure, but the description is inaccurate.

I tried to correct him, but he's hearing none of it.

Ahh, well.

He's calling it a Micro-Computer eh?

Why do they always want to be right all the time?

There is an addition by now, that the "microprocessor-less" Kenbak-1 by some is considered the first personal computer, although its impact on the computer revolution was "essentially nil". The seller also will include a 1971 ad for the Kenbak in the auction.

This seems like hair splitting.

I'm far more infuriated by the eBay seller that says "Have an old Apple in a wooden case. Might be an Apple I. I can't tell because I already packed it for shipping and don't want to open the box."

This happened recently ... I don't know if anybody was suckered by it or not.
