A computer with the massive overengineering common to Western Electric bakelite-encased telephone handsets? What's not to love!? ;)
I still remember dodging shrapnel from an exploding capacitor when I and a co-worker were attempting to resuscitate one of these a few years ago. Possibly the only computer I've ever worked on where wearing eye protection probably would have been advisable.

p.s. Yes, I still have full vision in both eyes and when Steve walks the limp is barely noticeable...

Don't forget that the Zilog Z-130 was based on the Bell chip (so it was using the same instruction set as the 3b2). Anybody remember? ISTR the 3b2 having a muddled byte sex.
3B2? AAAAAAAAUUUGHH!
Now you've ruined my whole day. I hope you're proud of yourself.
