Packrat genome project questions

I personally get attached to these things, and I have had access to lots of storage space.
So I have every computer I ever owned, and they all work (last time I checked).

The first I ever used was a PDP8-L running FOCAL that someone donated to my high school in 1974.

When I went to another school, the Altair 8800 came out, and I got one right away.
During college and work, I had access to DECs and mainframes.

My next "personal" machine was a Fortune Systems 68000 based unix box.
Then an Apple Mac II
Powermac 6100
Now I am awash in various PCs and Macs.

How many people on this list still have their 1st computer? second? third?
every computer you ever used/owned?

The first computer I ever used was a IBM 360 via punched cards in Fortran.

First I ever sat in front of and worked on directly was an IBM 1130 via
selectric console running a French version of APL.

First I ever owned was a Apple II, which I still have. Same for the next
five I owned/used; Mac Plus, Mac IIx, Mac 7200/90, Starmax 4160, and my
Athlon based PC.
