Hp-85, about 1979 or 80 (also have HP-86 and 87). These are very cool all-in-one designs, Hp's first attempt at a desktop computer! They use a very early and cryptic operating system.
Timex-Sinclair, 1981
Atari 1200, 1982?
IBM 5150, 1982? Played Trade Wars on this, also have a PC Jr.
Osborne 1, 1982? CP/M OS, very professional when it came out.
Apple IIc, 1983 or 84. Always wanted one when new, never quite took the leap.
The various Amigas, see signiture
IBM Personal System 2 w/486 - Dos and Windows 3.1, early 1990s? Still used for old Dos stuff.
Some pizza box Macs: LC III, Performa 475, Quadra 605, mid 1990s. I love how compact these are.
A non-descript Intel tower with Xubuntu
Other Macs: biege G3 Tower, G4 Quick Silver, G5 tower
Sony PS3 It plays blue rays, I don't game much. I thought it would be great with xubuntu, which sadly runs on only one core. NOT!
Most of the older stuff was rescued long after these machines were in vogue. I couldn't afford them when new, the first HPs, for example, went for many thousands of dollars.
The G4 serves up movies from the net to TV, the G5 is getting a lot of use since my A3000 got sick (repairs are coming along). My first Amiga 500 in 1989 was the machine that seemed unlimited in what it could do and the ways it could be expanded. The community that sprang up around it to increase its usefulness was magical.
Most of the other machines are seldom turned on. The Amigas still fascinate.
