I guess I would have to say "Commodore".

1982 VIC-20 (HES MON assembler)
1985 C=64&Drv
1986 C=128&Drv
1988 A500 (KS 1.2 ROM's)
1988 SX-64
1988 MAC (original 512K)
1989 A2000 (with A-MAX, 2088 bridge, GVP 030, HD)
1991 A1000
1991 A1000
1992 386note (currently running SCO 3.2.4)
1992 CDTV
1992 A4000
1993 486DX25
1994 Apple //GS&Prn
1994 386DX33 (clone assembled by me)
1995 Apple //
1995 A3000 (040, Hydra Ether)
1996 P5/120 (clone assembled by me, running Plan 9)
1997 586note (Compaq Armada P133)
1998 P6/233 (clone assembled by me)
1998 HP9000 712/60 (was HP/UX 9.05, now HP/UX 10)
1998 486/33 (running Slackware 2.0)
1998 SPARC10 (Solaris 2.6)
1999 TadPole SparcBook (SunOS 4.0.3)
1999 Pilot
1999 Indigo R3000 (IRIX 5.3)
1999 Pwr MAC (Mk Linux 5.2)
2000 PPRO-200 (dual capable, just need a VRM for the DTK mb)
2001 SPARC2 (SunOS 4.1.4)

2001 DEC Alpha AS200/233 (VMS 7.1)
2001 Palm Pilot 3XE
2001 Sun Netra X1 (Solaris 7)

I currently still use my A3000/040 daily and my "work"
machine is a Sparc 10 at home.
    I am futilely trying to understand / use / get license paks for
VMS 7.1 (what a pain!)
    I would like to get my hands on an RS/6000 7013 or 7043,
most E-bay boxes do not come with the AIX media.
