Favourite computers I've used daily or owned

A partial list of the interesting computers I've owned or have been my main work computer

I don't know why I set about adding these really. I remember them all and have some favourites. The XT Model 286 I bought for home in 1987 when nobody much had computers at home.  The Mac SE/30 which was rocket ship fast at the time. The Sun Ultra 10. Finally a SPARC machine that made sense as a desktop workstation after my odd Sun386i which wasn't much of a home computer but taught me a lot of Unix sysadmin. The NEXTcube with Lotus Improv. The pregenitor of macOS as we know it today. I still have a couple of these. The NEXTcube and the Ultra 10. Both fully loaded but not currently running anything useful. The Mac Studio is my main machine at the moment. I love it.
