Top 150 Collectible Microcomputers

Rumor has it that Tony Duell may have mentioned these words: Well, most of the same factors that make anything else collectible - personal desire is usually the top factor, but rarity and monetary value also come into play. My wife collects trinkets of carousels(sp?), hot air balloons and sailboats, in that order of importance. Of course, put a 1-off solid-gold carousel and a $2.00 cast-pot-metal made-by-slave-workers side by side, and guess which one she'd rather have??? ;-) All of the above seem useless to me (note I didn't say *worthless*... that solid-gold carousel would help rescue a *lot* of good computers!!! ;-), and computers seem useless to her... Oh, and I'm glad to see the Gimix machine made the list... I drooled over those when I was young, and would *still* love to have one (one of the qualities that make them worth more to me than, say, a Commodore 64). The only omission IMHO was the Tandy 600 - the first laptop with a built-in floppy drive, IIRC. Just my $0.0000000000002 (and that's all it's worth... ;-) Roger "Merch" Merchberger -- Roger "Merch" Merchberger --- sysadmin, Iceberg Computers Recycling is good, right??? Ok, so I'll recycle an old .sig. If at first you don't succeed, nuclear warhead disarmament should *not* be your first career choice.
