Just for the hell of it, I thought I'd make a list of the Top 10 Holy Grails
of classic microcomputer computer collecting. This is the "Rembrandt in the
Attic" sort of stuff. These are roughly in my opinionated order, but
somewhat randomly ordered:

1. The Altair prototype that was to be the cover photo for Popular
Electronics but was lost in shipment
2. Xerox Alto
3. Mark 8
4. Scelbi 8H
5. Kenbak-1
6. Micral 8008
7. Apple I
8. An unassembled Altair 8800 Kit
9. Busicom Japan Intel 4004-based Calculator
10. IBM 5100
