An Apple 1 has sold for $216,000 in London. The Apple I, one of only 200 such models ever made, was sold Tuesday afternoon at Christie's auction house in central London for 133,250 pounds (about $216,492). It came with its original packaging and a signed sales letter from Steve Jobs, one of Apple Computer's co-founders and the current CEO of Apple.
Novell has been acquired by Attachmate. Which is a little bizarre given I haven't even heard of Attachmate in about 10 years and Novell at least kept in the headlines with its SUSE involvement etc. Anyhoo, maybe I just move in the wrong circles.

SilentPCReview continue their build guide, this time focussing on a HTPC Home Server. Since a HTPC often becomes a central repository for media files, the concept of maximizing storage capacity on such a PC and using it as the file server for the entire home network has merit. This means the PC playes two roles, and one fewer PC is not a bad thing economically and ecologically. Check out our take on a similar idea from earlier in the week here.
