    This just hosted The Screen Savers together last week and it was the worst episode ever. But I back Woz 100%.

    also they do show evidence bags in every picture, almost too played out

    It can't be proved, I doubt the FBI even released the Laptop, they probably sent it to the dumps.

    I would not bid on that, seems a little suspect to me, just take the money and buy a ticket to CA and get Woz to sign a napkin or something. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

    Famed hacker Kevin Mitnick said Wednesday he is coming clean and hoping to make some money in the process by writing a book and auctioning off the infamous laptops he used to break into networks while he was a fugitive in the 1990s.

    Very true Kevin can't touch a computer for another 4 months. He said on the screen savers if he didn't sign the legal papers that he would probably be trying to get in to some thing, I couldn't believe he said that.

    The better one sold for US $15,200.00 ... :eek:



    The second laptop is still out.

    6 hours 24 minutes to get it



    <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2060605516"; target="_blank">auction here</a>



    [quote]This is the Toshiba Satellite T1960CS, 486 laptop computer seized by the FBI on February 15, 1995, in Raleigh, NC, during the arrest of the world's most celebrated computer hacker, Kevin Mitnick. The laptop is working and has been loaded with a fresh version of Windows 95. A shrink-wrapped version of Windows 95 on floppy, is included with the laptop. The laptop is a 486DX2 50MHz with trackball mouse, AT&T 14.4 PCMCIA modem card, power adapter and documentation in FBI evidence bags. The laptop has been signed on the bottom by Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computer, and says, "You've got the whole world in your hands. --Woz (Free Kevin!). It is also signed by Mitnick himself. The system was shown on the September 27, 2002 episode of The Screen Savers on TechTV, where the signatures on the bottom were authenticated in a special show hosted by Wozniak and Mitnick. A tape of the show will also be included.



    This is one of the two laptops allegedly used to hack into networks of major corporations and Tsutomu Shimomura. A letter of authenticity shall be provided with the unit.



    The item was listed by Kevin Mitnick's girlfriend, as he is not allowed to use the Internet.



    This is really Kevin Mitnick's laptop. It was recently returned by the FBI, as it was his private property. A copy of the FBI inventory list will be included, showing the laptop's serial number.



    It has a 200MB Hard Drive, and 3968KB RAM. Only the laptop, trackball mouse, AC adapter, PCMCIA 14.4 modem, and documentation are included. Windows 95 is loaded.<hr></blockquote>



    Current price: only 7,300 $$
