I'm not sure which is older, my Apple //e or my PDP11/53 turned 11/73.
I have an IBM AT, but that is currently disassembled, and I'm don't plan
on keeping it.

I suppose my Apple is the oldest since it is has the painted case with
white keyboard characters. All 3 of the computers I mentioned were
built for quite awhile, so I could be wrong. I guess the best I can say
is early to mid 80's.

I've never really gone for wanting the oldest with computers. I got
started with oldeer computers because they were cheap. I got a PC and
an XT with monitors and keyboards for $35, and then I got a Unisys 286
for free. I of course started working with the Apple //e at school, so
I wanted one for home. I didn't get one until the late 90s, However. I
wouldn't know what to do with anything like a PDP8. I don't even really
know what to do with my 11 yet.

Anybody know off hand what year the MicroVax 3400 was released?
