Cynde,
What was the significance of these systems to them in that original photo?
Were they among the first Microsoft programmed systems?  Were they just a
random sampling of systems of the era?
Just curious, they seem fairly random to me.

 I can only identify the easier ones.  Likely a Zenith H-89 in the middle,
 and I thought a TRS-80 Model I on the front right although the more I look
 at that picture the less detail I can see.
 That front left one looks quite familiar though.  Wish there was a bigger
 picture out there.  Love the remake though.

 One of the most iconic photos from the history of Microsoft, featuring
 a lanky young Bill Gates perched next to his coding mentor (the way he
 tells it) Paul Allen, has been recreated at Seattle's Living Computing
 Museum.
 [...]
 Among the systems still surrounding them are an Apple II with twin
 drives and an ancient monitor in the top left of the picture, with a
 Commodore Pet below Bill Gates. Readers who can identify the other
 systems, please let us know in Comments.
