Top 10 Holy Grails of Classic Microcomputer Collecting

Let's get this into the proper perspective here there is only one "Holy Grail"
(unless you read National Inquirer then there are millions for $39.98 plus
shipping and handling)

Let's see if I can think of some true 'Holy Grails' of computing:

1) The pre Apple 1 prototype Steve Wozniac brought to the Homebrew Computer Club.

2) The original code listing for the BASIC he hand typed to demonstrate that computer.

3) The PDP-1 used to write and play Space War at MIT (with the original game controls)
   ( I know it's not a micro, but I like the idea. )

4) 'The original' paper tape of BASIC that was pirated from Bill Gates.

Now those would be 'holy grails,' something along the lines of you either
don't tell anyone or are very carefull who you tell that you own them.
