I don't know that we (collectively) knew about the LGP-30 back then. The
Olivetti, maybe. Remember, he made that website back when the Internet was
about as searchable as it is today (i.e. not that great) to say nothing of
the fact that not that many computer history/collector websites were out
there back then.

Still valid?
Personal Computer Milestones - Fun page that attempts to answer the
question: "What was the first PC?"
http://www.blinkenlights.com/pc.shtml
That's Doug Salot's old website circa 2000. He did an admirable job back
then for what we all collectively knew (he didn't just pull this stuff
of his arse, he actually did some research).

Yes I mean, how well did this page / research age? For example I have
elsewhere made the case that the NRI 832 pre-dates the Kenbak and I made
the case as well that yes is a personal computer. The LGP-30 is totally
missing. Olivetti 101, Etc.
