What about the Cosmac ELF, the IMSAI, MITS Altair, Cromemco, the Processor
Technology units (don't remember the model), the glorious Polymorhpics
Poly-88 (I used this one the most)?  Those were the first true home
computers.  Who needs a CRT when you've got switches and LED's?  The
Sinclair was a latecomer compared to them...

Had a chance to buy a used Apple-I in 1979 (maybe 80) or so.  Even though
that appreciated by a a few thousand percent over the years, I still
woulda been better off buying Microsoft stock.
