None of the *computers* I've seen have full Turing-machine power. It's
that damn infinite tape on the Turing machine that makes it such a
kick-butt machine :-)
Many of the early toy/personal/home computers I know of have already been
mentioned here, but there's one in particular that hasn't and will blow
you away with both it's "specs" and the effect it had on computing as we
know it today.
