Heheh... I've still got (and most still working):

Commodore 64
Commodore 128
Atari 2600
Apple IIe
TI-99
Old boxMac (the cube looking one, forget the model).
Compaq Luggable (looks like a sewing machine)

I used to have a TRS-80 Model I (the first computer I ever owned), but
my parents threw it out before I realized I wanted to keep it. Used to
have a cassette tape player hooked up to it for secondary storage
before we upgraded it with a floppy drive.

I've also got a 300 baud acoustically coupled modem and an 8" floppy.

We're going to be moving to a bigger house sometime in August and I
look forward to pulling all that stuff out of the garage and setting
them up in the computer room again.
