  1. Ok, can't resist. Kaypro Intel 8086, 4.77mhz, 512kb RAM, 2 (yes 2!) 256kb floppy drives, 9" square green screen. All in a metal box because it was a "portable" (and must have weighed 40lbs). The guy I bought it from said you could throw it and it wouldn't break. Thought about it, opted not to try it out. Oh yeah, it was connected to a whopping wide carrage Okidata dot matrix printer. Total package = $2600 in 1986. Crazy to think that my MacAir cost $1500 in August of last year some 25 years later. Wish I had a picture to share but don't. Can tell you that it (and it's immediate predecessor which was an upgrade to an 8088, 4.77+10mhz turbo mode AND a 10MB hard drive) generated a TON of dBase, Clipper and C code in its day.
