What are the most bizarre, way-out or just plain
*different* machines
that folks have seen?
One of the most "common" oddball machines you can actually still pick up
in a lot of places is the PCjr.
I've always been partial to "luggables" that include more than they
should, like the Panasonic Sr. Partner which has a printer behind the
CRT. A friend told me he used to lug that thing onto planes and through
airport terminals and lost weight doing it. The printer used a roll of
fax paper, so all of your printouts looked like faxes.
