The Real Apple Computer
News Commentary. Yesterday, I spotted something quite remarkable at a local flea market.
My daughter ask if we could go to the Spring Valley Swap Meet. It's a big one that has somewhat a unsavory reputation for crime and even sale of stolen goods. In April I found fake iPods for sale at the same locale.
I spotted this computer, and just laughed. I simply had to take a picture, which was stealthily done using my iPhone 3G.

I spotted this computer, and just laughed. I simply had to take a picture, which was stealthily done using my iPhone 3G.
Twice before, I had gone to the swap meet carrying cameras—Sigma DP1 and Canon EOS 40D—neither of which I have now. Both times, several sellers asked why I was taking pictures. They were suspicious.
After my second photo trip, The New Yorker published enlightening article "Stop,Thief!" Some swap meets are used by shoplifting gangs to resell stolen goods, according the article. That explained why I saw so many Hollister and clothes from other trendy clothes retailers for sale with original store tags and prices. I'm making no allegations just putting together 1 + 1. One: Some of the goods were suspicious. Plus One: I was looked on with suspicion for taking photos.
I took no camera yesterday, and quietly and quickly snapped the above photo with my mobile phone. Every picture does tell a story.
Anyway, it cracked me up to see an Apple-shaped PC for sale. Can you imagine some dumb parent bringing it home to a teen? "Honey, I got you an Apple computer at the swap meet."
