Louis Armstrong's Orchestra Document Signed DS, twelve pages, 8.5 x 11, January 16, 1951. Agreement between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Louis Armstrong plus the "five (5) musicians constituting your orchestra," by which the group agrees to "render and perform such services as may be required...in connection with pre-recording, recording, rehearsals and photographing for and in connection with our photoplay now entitled 'The Strip.'" Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint by Arvell Shaw, Barney Bigard, William R. 'Cozy' Cole, Jack Teagarden, and Earl 'Fatha' Hines, with each musician adding his address and social security number. In fine condition. The 1951 film noir crime movie The Strip, starring Mickey Rooney, Sally Forrest, and William Demarest, was largely shot on-site in the popular nightclubs Mocambo and Ciro's on Sunset Strip. A large part of the film's running time consists of musical performances by the 'house band,' which includes Louis Armstrong and his orchestra, playing themselves. Reviewing the film, critic Dennis Schwartz writes: 'A minor mystery story that's given some high gloss in its production by the MGM studio system, as Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong and his distinguished band made up of Jack Teagarden, Earl 'Fatha' Hines, and Barney Bigard serenade us with a few numbers...it's set on the intriguing Sunset Strip where Mickey Rooney plays the sincere little guy, Stanley Maxton, a jazz drummer who is accused of murder...The breezy story line, the snappy jazz interludes, and some engaging scenes made it very appealing.'

Apple Computer Working Typescript of 'So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision,' with Sealed First Edition and Letter from Apple Production Manager Fascinating group lot of items related to the production of the 1987 book So Far: The First Ten Years of a Vision, which was published to commemorate the company’s 10th anniversary. The lot includes a bracket-bound 66-page working typescript of the book, with the front cover marked "X" in red felt tip; a hardcover first edition sealed in its original cellophane wrapper; and a printed copy of a typed letter from Apple production manager Dennis Gobets, dated September 21, 1987, with the memo title “Recap of expenses incurred by publishing the ‘So Far’ book," which begins with a quote from an irate Steve Jobs: “What the fuck happened.” In his letter, Gobets touches on several aspects of the book’s publication, including its unusual production timeline (“Why did we choose a somewhat different method? Because we had less than 3 months to write, design, print and deliver our book. This is unheard of in the book publishing world”), the standard book production process (“Step 1. Somebody writes a manuscript. Step 2. Somebody else edits it. Step 3. The publisher brings in his legal beagles to make certain his chances of getting sued by the subjects of the book are slim”), and finishing touches (“I started to round up potential publishers who could meet our timeframe and quality standards. The stated timeframe was mid-April to mid-May, after rejecting the idea of delivering for the Shareholders’ Meeting in mid-January”). In overall fine condition.

Apple Macintosh Portable - From the Collection of Apple Product Manager Dennis Gobets Original Apple Macintosh Portable computer (40MB) personally owned by Apple production manager Dennis Gobets. This early Apple laptop, Model M5120, Serial no. F3026N43M58, measures approximately 15.25″ x 14.25″ x 4″ when closed, with a monochrome screen, 80-key keyboard with numeric keypad, built-in trackball mouse, 1MB of memory, and 40 MB of storage. The unit includes its original battery, Apple carrying case, an ‘Apple Desktop Bus Mouse,’ and two name tags. The original power cord is no longer present. The computer is sold as is and is in fine, untested condition, with a small chip to the left side. Apple's very first battery-powered computer, the Macintosh Portable was a total failure when it was released in 1989. It was slow, expensive, and heavy—earning the unwanted nickname 'The Luggable' due to its 16-pound weight and less than one hour of battery life. While voted one of the worst tech gadgets of all time, the Portable holds the title as the first computer to ever send an email from space. It did, however, pave the way for the Powerbook 100—which has since been named the 10th greatest personal computer of all time.
