Hm.

I remember an NEC 8086PC around 83 or so.  No OS, just a Basic based 
firmware OS kind of thing.  I was between 4 and 8 playing with the 
thing.... writing code during the last couple years.

Since then I've seen alot of even older and more exotic hardware since 
then, but one is always fond of their roots.

Getting into a sword fight over age is silly. About the only good thing 
for comparisons would be Delphi/Genie/Compuserve and of course BBS's... 
and even that is silly.
