[AT] think I' stick with red ones

[Chuck Saunders]

Mattias is right (and cleverly so, made me smile). At the same time having
the first machine off the line holds an identity that other ones seem to
lack. I don't know why the serial numbers become so important, maybe it's
that numerology stuff, but there is something about this is the first one
they made just sounds important. Of course then they go and start the
numbering with 501 or something. I know when I got a new checking account,
no one was that thrilled about getting check # 101.

I don't think collecting has ever been about making sense to anyone but the
collector.
