Well, they are historically significant too. They were the first true
microcomputers or something like that (by which I mean a complete
integrated graphics capable monitor & computer combination), and probably
the first to have a menu driven operating system (using single character
commands).

And yes, I realize I just opened myself up to about thirty replies,
each claiming Perq or SUN or Xerox, or whoever your favorite manufacturer
is, actually was the first to have feature XXX in their operating system ;)
