E-Scribe: The Vintage Hardware Collection

The Vintage Hardware Collection

Ten to fifteen years ago my office housed a small hardware collection. Portability and/or small size was a theme, which helped keep storage requirements in check.


Former wish list:

  • 20th Anniversary Macintosh
  • Acoustic modem (110 baud)
  • Apple ][+
  • IBM Model 5100 (50-pound "portable" computer)
  • IBM ThinkPad 701C (butterfly keyboard)
  • IBM ThinkPad 850 (PowerPC)
  • Macintosh 128 and SE/30
  • Macintosh G4 Cube and 17" Apple Studio Display CRT
  • NeXT Cube
  • Vectrex game console
