I grew up in the 8-bit era, so that's mostly what I'm interested in from a retro computing perspective. Pretty much the whole Acorn lineup starting with the BBC and then going to the early ARMs is interesting, plus a bunch of the other early UK-built weird machines like home computers using Forth (I think that was the ORIC).

Early UNIX workstations are also pretty interesting, like the early SUN stuff, SGI, early NeXT if you're more interested in that type of machines.

Looks like my memory isn't what it used to be, the ORIC machines used Basic, what I was thinking of was the Jupiter Ace: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Ace

I used to live in the UK for couple of years and I never heard of BBC before I living there. Right now I am hunting for Acorn and BBC and I am planning on flying to the UK just to pick them up. It's funny how these systems were so big, however only on the domestic market.

I would love to get SGI but in the country I live in, it's almost imposible, same as SUN and NeXT.

For my own amusement I just had a quick look at eBay and it looks like old SUN gear has got expensive since last looked.

NeXT gear has always been expensive, that doesn't seem to have changed.

Acorn Electron is effectively a small BBC micro. Lots of fun!
