Whoops, Holy Grails of Classic PERSONAL Computer Collecting :)
I only put in "Micro" to leave out the PDP-1's, etc.

What's wrong with putting the PDP-1 at the top of the list? Also, there
are several people that would happily trade an Altair 8800 (or two) for a
straight PDP-8.
If you're going to include the Xerox Alto, I think I'd prefer even a lowly
Xerox Star to an Altair. :-)

Ooooooo.... do I forsee a religious war on what constitutes a "personal"
computer?
I'd love to have a PDP-1 in the collection... and I think my PDP-8s, 11s,
and VAX 7xx series are slightly insulted... (ok, maybe the VAXen are just
amused) B^}

couple of weeks, say to Halloween or so. I'm tired.

firearms with me. I said "Well, what do you need?" -- Steven Wright

Holy war? On this list? Never.
