i dunno who has the oldest one... but i have a system 36 sitting here
acting as a table leg for this 8ft computer workstation/bench... its the
height of a two drawer filing cabinet, of which i have one of those on the
other end of the banch... anyway, this machine has a 8inch flopppy drive
and a 30meg hard drive... that hard drive weighs some 50+pounds... the unit
was given to me at a time when i was collecting old dead hard drives and
using the platters in them for making clocks with... this one was going to
be a table clock as i don't think a 50+pound wall clock is a good idea
:wink:
