pre-PC compatible days, '82 and earlier, because as you know, any major or
fly-by-night outfit could put their name on a PC nowadays. Also, strictly
non-PC computer companies are included even up to ten years ago (to keep it
on classics). Keep it on-topic and change your Subject line if you reply on
some other on-topic subject.
Sure, plenty! I can't think of a whole lot of good examples right now,
but for starters there was Bell & Howell with their "RARE!" black Apple II
models.
