“LOST” vintage Apple II in auction

One of the most famous computers in the world can be bought on auction. The vintage Apple II for the TV-series “LOST”  is to be sold on August 21-22 in Santa Monica, Calif. The Swan Station computer is an important piece of the “LOST” and I’m sure it will make an important reason for high bids among the fans of the series. I mean who amongst the LOST viewers wouldn’t like to have the actual computer on which John Locke and Desmond Hume entered “the numbers” every 108 minutes.

There is no specification if the Apple II system still works, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find that it has installed the program that requires you to enter the 6 numbers every 108 minutes .

This configuration is an Apple-II Plus system running an Apple-III monitor, with a Disk II floppy drive, each featuring a DHARMA logo. This prop computer was used at the Swan station and by Desmond, Locke, and other cast members to enter “The Numbers” every 108 minutes.

If you can’t make it to the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica (also the site of 2007′s E3 video game trade show), bids are also being accepted via mail, phone, fax, or Internet, with details available at the auction site.
