Maybe I'm too cynical, but I think there's something fishy about this whole thing. Why did he quickly sell it via a private auction before trying to locate her.
If he truly felt that it was possibly donated by mistake wouldn't he try to return the original item rather than selling it.
I also wonder if the buyer would have wanted more documentation of it's history beyond "we found it in a box" before paying $200K. Maybe that's why they're really trying to located this lady.
I've also wondered if the lady, computer, and auction even existed, or if this is just some way to get free publicity.
As I said, maybe I'm too cynical.
