Especially the early color laptops (e. g. NEC Multispeed 386) which very
few people bought. Laptops made out of funny materials -- the magnesium
GRIDs or the Toshibas with carbon-fiber cases. The nicer palmtops (they
can pry my Pofo from my cold dead fingers....) And, of course, several of
the hardened military micros. And the rarer Ataris. And Lisas!!

MIPS. HP Kayaks -- buy now while they're cheap! ;-)
