I started getting serious about collecting vintage
computers when I was
about 20, so not much older. That was in 1993, and I was scrounging
PDP-11/23s and VT100s and VT220s, so most of what I was finding was
10-15 years old at that point. The more things change, the more they
stay the same!

IIRC My first large home computer (220v) was a SGI 4d/480VGX.
It had the LED CPU usage meters on the front.
Eventually I ended up with two Challenge XLs and four L's to replace it,
and two Onyx's and a Origin 2000 full rack. SGI hardware was so cool.
