heh, how about USSR's first IBM PC compatible computer with USSR's first 8086-compatible CPU with PC-DOS 3.30 on it, that had the size of a large keyboard, 512KB of RAM, external 5.25" FDD + the ability to read data from audiotapes through ordinary player, and was video-connected directly into TV's board? :-D I wrote my first program on GWBASIC on it. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
