Hi all,
One thing I was always interested in - and the
visitors in my Computer
Museum often want to know - is how many of the very
first personal computers
are still in existence. By first PCs I mean the
following machines:
Kenbak 1
10-20
There were only 40 made (interestingly in Brentwood, California, just 30
minutes north of where I live in Livermore).
Here's a brief article:

I can stretch my imagination and believe that 10 may still be around, but
certainly not 20.
Move it over one decimal place to the left. From what I know, about
50,000 Altair's of all models were produced.
