If so, somebody should put it out of its misery! I think there's a huge
dinstinction between "rare" and "desirable", and I personally find
CoCo's
undesirable no matter how rare (you also won't find me chasing things like
the C65).
Most of the machines on Kai's list would bring me no joy. I wouldn't want
an Apple 1 because I'd be afraid to power it on. I wouldn't want an
Altair kit because it would be just a paperweight unless I built it (which
would be fun, but when I was done it would no longer be a kit). I
wouldn't especially want a Mark-8 since there was no "official" Mark-8
(sort of like the COSMAC Elf, it was just a magazine article).
Just for fun, here are my top 3 Holy Grails:
1) PDP-1 running SPACEWAR
2) Xerox Alto
3) Thinking Machine's CM-1
