earliest graphics display system in your collection?

Uuuuh, a fountain pen? OK Richard, You've hit a nerve there. I've Used many such systems, but wasn't sufficiently grabby enough to go and get them when and if they were scrapped. I won a $5 bid on a Applicon CAD system and wimped out on that one, it was ~2,500 lb and 1000 miles away And the Calma auction of Apollos in ~1988. Also wimped out on paying $200 for an IBM 5100 in 1990. Ouch. I've never seen a PS300. Which VCF would you go to if you brought it. West, East, Germany, ? In general, I wonder if anyone on list has an Adage vector display system? I bow to Tom Uban and his Imlac, that was the 1st "real" system I used, pre-grad. Owned, inexact list, including dates: 1972: DEC PDP11/10 + LPS + O'Scope, unconfigured 1977: Hewlett-Packard 2648A terminal 1980: Atari 800 microcomputer, others 1981: HP 85 1981: IBM PC CGA microcomputer, others 1984: Tektronix 4107 terminal 1987: MicroVAX GPX 1988: DECWindow Station 3500, others 1993: Indigo^2 Note that 1991 or so marked the explosion of Windowing everywhere, so only the specialized machines in that period need apply.
