I also have led a life of Classic Computer Regret & Sorrow:

1. Apple Quadra 840av. The sweetest Mac I've ever owned.
   Sorely missed.  LIkely stolen.

2. VaxStation 4000/90.  Had two. These were probably thrown away.

3. NCR Tower 1632.  Ran an early SYSV, I had the install tapes
   too.

4. HP Intergral - Lost when the basement flooded

5. SwTPc 6800's - Both machines lost in the above flood

6. Smoke Signal Broadcasting 9512 - This was a 6809 running OS/9.
   Sold it because "I have enough SS-50 boxes already".

7. PDP-11/73 - Another one likely thrown away.

8. PDP-11/23+ - Hardware test bed, I was using it to work on my
   RL02 drive.  Flood victim.

9. Commodore 128D - complete with keyboard, built like a tank.
   By the time they drained the basement, it was likely a rusted
   pile of junk.

Most of these I either got free, or for very little money.
I see the prices fetched for these systems today, and I can
do little but shake my head and be glad for what I still
have....
