  OK, Here's my first and list.  My first was an S-100 
system that I built from kit boards.  It worked once for 
about 2 minutes.  Next was a Quest Super Elf which 
stated with 256 bytes of memory. Upgraded in several 
steps to 64 K and a color board.  Used a 1802 CPU and 
cassette tape.  I moved to a Tixex Sinclair 1000 with 
all the goodies.  Then went to a Radio Shack Color 
Computer 1, then 2, then 3.  The 2 and 3 could run (and 
did) OS-9 (UNIX-like).  Then moved to an Ineractive 
Media Systems MM-1 which ran OSK on a 16 MHz 68070.  
Then an IPX and now a SS20 and a Tadpole 3GX.  All these 
I still have and are still working.  Along with those 
are:
Radio Shack Model 3, 4, 12, 2000, 100, 102 (the 100 was 
the first laptop), AT&T 7300 UNIX PC, 3B2/300, 310, 400, 
1000, Hewlett Packard 9842, XL200, Apple 2, 2+, 2e, 2c, 
Mac, Mac+, Mac SE, Mac SE30, DuoBook 210, 230 with 
docks, and various old Wintel things.  OK, my basement 
is a landfill  ;->
