Pickup a copy of A Collector's Guide to Personal Computers and Pocket

Hello. I'm not so much a classic specialist
as a computer specialist, as I
love both old and new computers. I'm not a proffesional, but do know
BASIC, DOS and all other kinds of stuff which the fast-moving stream of
technology has left behind, unfortunately. But anyway, I didn't know jack
about computers in the early 80's, other than what the average Joe knew:
Keyboard, commands, annoying. But since '92, I've been learning more and
more. But I need a basic list of systems that are 1. Easy To Find 2.
Important enough to draw attention.
