I'm somewhat surprised there arn't more posts like yours. Although I havent read all the posts, dont think I saw any IMSAI's or Altairs or Ohio Scientifics.
Mine was a kit built Netronics Elf II followed about a year later by a Ohio Scientific Challenger 1p. In college there were several with other first generation micros like those mentioned above and others.

No, Never...
But now that you mention it, that Big Mac I had at lunch didn't look at all like the ones on the TV. You think they deliberatly used better ones for the commercials???
