  You Can Own a Piece of "Hacker History"!
Time: 19:57 EST/00:57 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Fred Fernandez

TechTV is auctioning off Kevin Mitnick's FBI-seized laptop on eBay. As of this writing, there are a little over 5 days left for the auction, and the price is at $7,900, with the reserve not yet met (first bid was at $6,000). Following is the auction listing description:

"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 486DX with a color LCD, detachable 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."

486DX/14.4K Modem/Win95 for >$8000. I don't think I shouted "Free Kevin!" enough to justify the asking price.
