Woz's business card for sale on eBay. - 04/10/2006 05:10
Ok, a lot of you guys/gals know that I am into Segway Polo. Woz (he's also on "the team") gave me one of his metal business cards. He also handed one to Steven Colbert when he was on the show.
I've been thinking of putting mine on eBay ever since just to see what it would sell for... Well...

The internet(s), like society in general, will always amaze me. :-)

Neat card!
But I bet an origianal card from... say ~20 years ago might be worth more.

No, it hasn't, and there are very specific(& V expensive) requirements for emailing invoices, as well. Before I retired it was something that I investigated at great length: By that time, invoices were our only outgoing mail and junk mail*, our only incoming mail.
*To this day every publisher sends you a copy of the publication your advertisement appeared in, and some agencies have a whole department to check, cut out and send them to the client. In job advertising it's simpler, if you don't get any replies then we'll investigate, so for over 20 years, we binned forests of newsprint: 10 ads. in one paper; 10 copies of the newspaper! Only in recent years have we been able to arrange for recycling, but it's still a waste of resource, not to mention mailing costs.

aye - we use fax a lot - usually followed up by paper documents - even where we also use electronically signed files.

It's now made it to The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW):
http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/10/woz-business-card-sells-for-560-on-ebay/What bothers me about that story is the author's projection of morality. Why *SHOULD* the money go to anything but lunch? I suppose they don't know how much a meal at a restaurant other than Burger King will cost for more than 2 people.

Thanks for posting that link to the TUAW blog entry. I wouldn't have known it was there. I just posted a reply to Laurie there.
