Hi. I mislaid my copy. Will pay $10 plus postage. Thanks. --Daniel
PeteS said:Good try. Intel is offering $10K
Why?
Presumably a historic Intel product announcement like the 4004/8008/8080?

They are buying up all the copies in order to destroy the evidence.
Make that "number of transistors on a chip" and "every two
years" (later revised to 18 months, IIRC).
Bill Gates, re: the IBM PC, not Moore, and "640K."
It seems crazy to me. For USD10k you could replicate it, i.e. make theHello Jim,
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.
Had your humorus removed?
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.
Indeed. It depends on what they want it for. It seems a bit odd for aHello John,
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.
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.
Hi:
Somewhere in my archives I do have a photocopy of the Moore article.
I'll check back here once I find it.
