  This is just a suggestion, but you might want to add an availability
field, something like:

        Limited - only a single run ever made, and then, not very
                          many. Connection Machines, Crays, and the Apple
                          I fall into this catagory. You will almost never
                          find one "in the wild" so to speak.

        Rare - Only made for a year or so. Quite a bit were
                          made, but are hard to find. An Apple Lisa, or
                          Altair would fit this catagory.

        Uncommon - the less popular machines of an era. Usually
                           have to hunt around, but persistence pays off.
                          Color computers, Coleco Adams and what not
                          fall into this catagory (IMHO).

        Common - Fairly easy to find. Apple ][s, Amigas would be
                          here (again IMHO).

        Abundant - the era of the PClone. Can't go to a thrift
                          store, auction, ham fest, etc without finding
                          hundreds if not thousands of old units. Mostly
                          noname brands.
