This is not what I mean by significant. I am looking for machines that did
something historically important. Or even maybe not so historically
important. Provenance - it is important.
Anything that comes my way like that I usually channel over the the
Computer History Museum. This would include several important items so
far.
Intel is known for many dead ends and bad timing. They
really are a pretty
innovative company - it is a shame they have this huge stain on
their history called x86.
I think they get too much credit in some cases.
