Macpaw:
Have you ever held a NeXTcube? It’s a tesseract. It’s an alien thing that was for no reason brought to us earthlings. Apple devices have always looked a bit out-of-this-world and that’s why we like them so much. So no wonder that when there’s a chance to get a huge collection of iconic Apple computers, you snatch it with the tightest grip.
As sad as I was to hear of Tekserve’s closing, I’m glad to see their wonderful collection of Apple computers has gone to a good home. Macpaw got a great deal – 39 pieces of Apple history for $47,000.
I was able to see and photograph Tekserve’s collection a few years ago. They kept some of it on display in a basement room that they used for presentations. At the moment, Google Maps still allows you to walk through much of the store. You’ll see their antique table-radio collection on the wall to your left as you enter the place.
I miss Tekserve. I’m glad most of those machines found a home, but I’m sad that they’re now so far away.
