Well, the first computer I used was an apple II+, and a IIe
after that. I have one of each now, but not the same model.

My parents owned a TRS-80 color computer, then a Sperry PC
compatible machine, neither of which I have at this point.

They also had a "Leading Technology" 386, and a Compaq 486,
neither of which I would want, since I have my share of that
class of machine.

The first computer _I_ ever owned was an AT&T Unix PC, and
yes, I still have that. You could say that was my
introduction to collecting "classic computers." It was more
than 10 years old by the time I got it, and required some
work to get it running. It was rescued from the trash. Its
name is "Sprite" -- so called after the drink, since its
green screen contrasted sharply with all other computers I'd
seen recently (at that time). I was just working on it over
this last weekend.

Regards,

Chris
