Hard to say which one is most lovely, maybe I just list three most important 
for me. First is my full IBM 1800 system including 2311 drives, 1627 plotter, 
etc... http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/2015/08/1800-kesakuvia.html

I got CPU to run a year ago, other parts are under progress. Big and noisy 
beast, gotta love it.

 

Second would be weird decimal based thing, IBM 1620 Model I: 
http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/2016/06/ibm-1620-model-i-uusi-lelu-kokoelmaan.html

Pretty hard to get back to life, memory is corroded and Model B typewriter is 
missing. Maybe some day...

 

Third, Honeywell H316. Exactly I have two of these, both running.  The first 
one is mint conditioned tabletop version, another is rack version with HSA 
option.

Alan!  Neat!  I like this  arm you have! 
 I  also  have an articulating   monster  B & L  arm and it is amazing 
but it takes up space on the  desk  with a monster base.

That's a hard one.  I feel like the answer should be 'my Mark-8 boards!', 
because they are so rare.  But they're just boards.. they don't do anything.  I 
find the computer I keep coming back to is my Digital Group z80.  Digital Group 
just has that personality factor.

Mine is the HP-2000  ...  it  was a game changer   for me  in the  used  
computer  business as it  gave me  a one company direction... from  dealing in 
parts to keep it alive to   having  HP-3000 systems being an indy  new  HP  
dealer  on  PC  products in the 80s into the 90s.
 
On a more personal level,   the Classic PDP-8 with the plexi  top covers  
we have here in the SMECC   museum project I  have   given them.   I wanted 
one ion 1965and  finally  got one in the 80s!

Well, the Honeywell Alert is rather special, and definitely 
out of the ordinary, as a collector's item.


Also, the MicroVAX-II is dear to my heart, as I did a LOT of 
work with it (at home, as well as at work with a variety of 
VAXen and uVAXen) from 1986 to 1995 or so.  When I got it in 
1986, it was a ***REAL*** computer, and I was in hog heaven.

Two emails.

While getting Multics up and running, I discovered a few bugs in Multics
and sent bug reports to the Multics mailing list. I received the following
replies which I treasure:

Super.  Nothing like coming home from an exhausting workday to find a bug
