Yup!
There's one in the local University's museum, and the curator even wrote a
book about its interesting history.

day I'd like to have a real one but they increase in value at the same

though and like a lot of people I like blinken lights and flip switches.
Still feels science fantasy to me.
If I weren't old and if I were a collector, I'd be going after an MCM/70
as my target. 8008 CPU, APL and pretty darned close to the first
mobile-capable PC.
Gotta love them Canadians!
