I started collecting systems only about 2 1/2 years ago...my objectives were
to get all the computers I could't afford as a kid....I was one of the early
youngsters growing up starting with the 1977 TRS-80 model I...it was well
out of my (and family's) price range...not to be deterred, I learned
programming by hanging around Radio Shack while my Mom shopped...after a
couple of years when my father figured out I wasn't outgrowing my computer
"phase" he bought me one in 1981, a TRS-80 Model III 48K 2DD for $2500 with
an insurance settlement.

(2x) Commodore PET 8K 2001 (1 works; other needs to be debugged)
(2x) Apple Lisa 2/10 (working 10mb widget hard drives!)
(3x) TRS-80 Model I (EI, floppies etc.)
(12x!) Commodore PET 8032/4032 etc. with 8250 fdd (long story)
TRS-80 Model III (my first machine)
Leading Edge Model D (my first employer)
Akkord Jonathan (probably the only real reverse engineered Mac clone out
there ~1991)
Northstar Advantage
IBM ThinkPad with Go! Operating System
NEC UltraLite Autograph (prototype pen machines)
Heathkit H89
Nextstation
Osborne One
Apple Mac SE
Apple II+
Atari 800
(2x) Commodore 64
