A woman in the San Francisco Bay area dumped an original Apple I computer at a recycling center, where it was promptly sold for $200K USD. The owner of the recycling center is now trying to track down the woman and share the profits with her. Seems like the right and decent thing to do. The computer was buried in a box with a bunch of other electronics, which is why it went unnoticed for a couple of weeks at the center, and I hope why the woman didn't know her husband owned such a rare piece of computing history.
