John Draper, also known as Cap’n Crunch, was on hand at the anniversary party. In the 1970s, Draper was convicted of wire fraud for using a “blue box” and a toy Cap’n Crunch whistle from a cereal box to tap into the national telephone network. He also developed the first word processor for the Apple II.

Sellam Ismail, founder of the Vintage Computer Festival, talks about his own collection of 2,000 vintage computers, housed in a warehouse in Livermore, Calif. The most he paid for a single item was $400–for a prototype Apple IIGS. His rarest machine is an Apple Lisa with the original, and buggy, dual Twiggy drives.
