#2That's a crazy amount of money. But I'll be honest... if I had a ton of money I would buy it too. IMO, this is a part of computing history that is very important. I think having a collection of the history of computers would be awesome.

#3I hope that was a charity auction otherwise that outcome is quite ridiculous and quite sad. $900k could be better spent.

Maybe it could, but it's not your place to decide. The person who purchased this could have bought it for some sentimental value, because they think it's an important piece of computing history which should be preserved - or perhaps both. Are you to be the judge of the validity of those things?

#10I'm not sure who won the auction, but this should be in a museum somewhere. Hopefully it will find its way to one.
