Good try. Intel is offering $10K

Why?

Presumably a historic Intel product announcement like the 4004/8008/8080?

It had an interview with founder Gordon Moore- presumably the one that
popularized "Moore's Law".

That's where he said that computer power will double every ten years, and 64K of
memory will be more than anyone will ever need.
They are buying up all the copies in order to destroy the evidence.

Hello Jim,
The original "Moore's Law" article.

Just imagine if somebody would now remember how he read it with great
interest and then used that copy to light his wood stove back then.

Regards, Joerg

Make that "number of transistors on a chip" and "every two
years" (later revised to 18 months, IIRC).
and 64K of memory will be more than
anyone will ever need.

Bill Gates, re: the IBM PC, not Moore, and "640K."

It seems crazy to me. For USD10k you could replicate it, i.e. make the
printing plates again. For a lot less you could make a replica using
modern methods.

Well, it doesn't matter; that will have rendered him 'armless.

You could also do that for the "Blue Mauritius" stamp that is supposedly
worth millions. But then it's not an original.

Indeed. It depends on what they want it for. It seems a bit odd for a
commercial company to invest in a museum object these days.

Agreed.

The written words are the quintessence, not the ink and paper itself.

Moore himself wants it, according to what I heard on NPR on Monday night.

It has nothing to do with wanting to know what he wrote back then, it's
everything to have the artifact in hand. I think the NPR piece said he'd
lost his copy, or lent it to someone. The cost goes up because so
many did not keep their copy.

All kinds of kids give away their toys and comic books when they grow
up (or their parents get rid of them), and then decades later they
want those memories back. But years later, the quantity is way
down because people have broken them, and thrown them away, so
those who want them have to compete. But since it's the memories
they want, substitutes do not work.

Yep, and they're being stolen from libraries. The local (to where I am
now) library, UIUC's Granger Library, lost one of its copies in the
last couple of days. The other isn't for sale and is now under lock
and key.

I don't long for any of my old toys, and my wife still has her
*original* Barbie. OTOH, I wish I had all the "Transformers" my son
had over the years.

Hi:

Somewhere in my archives I do have a photocopy of the Moore article.
I'll check back here once I find it.
