If it was real 11 million wouldn’t touch it, maybe 11 trillion, but since it was purchased so cheaply, I doubt we will ever see a working product.

"If it was real 11 million wouldnt touch it, maybe 11 trillion, but since it was purchased so cheaply, I doubt we will ever see a working product." Don't be ridiculous. And the payment was $20MM. $11MM is the amount that has been spent. Rossi (and the other investors) will make their money from sales profits and stock value increase, just like M'soft, Apple, and any hundred other high-tech companies....none of whom started out as "billion dollar" valued.

Basically, the $11M gets them in the game. They own Computerland, not Apple Computer. Apple didn’t give up any rights to their IP when they helped get Computerland going. If Computerland failed, they had plenty of other options (and Computerland did fail).
