IMSAI – The Computer Film Star of War Games
- Tloewald 11y agoI'm surprised that the IMSAI from Wargames would be valued at only $25,000 but at that price it's far from the most valuable personal computer ever, for a start there's the Appls I sold for roughly $400k at auction: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30447563 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30447563 Another sold for nearly $1M: http://www.newsweek.com/1976-apple-1-computer-sells-auction-record-905000-279230 http://www.newsweek.com/1976-apple-1-computer-sells-auction-...
- harel 11y agoApple has more current street cred i guess. The IMSAI is only valuable to people who grew up on the film.
- davelnewton 11y agoOr like the machine; I knew about them well before Wargames.
- danmaz74 11y agoIf I had money to throw away, I would gladly buy this computer. War Games is by far the best "hacking" movie I remember from my childhood.
- harel 11y agoAmen. I owe my career to that film, and I'd love to thank Matthew Broderick in person one day over a raspberry pie or some pints. That movie was like a revelation to me. All that computer stuff! And he got the girl! And he saved the world! Gotta get me some of that sugar.
