I'll be happy with a miniature FRAGILE leg lamp!
Anticipation is the greatest. I've been wooting for nearly 6 years, my first bundle of crud and I'm happier than a pig in stuff.
That would be a Major Award!
p.s. 6.9 lbs here
P.S. I've stopped keeping this up to date

You can probably emulate it on a phone at many multiples of the original speed...

I had a Pinecom XT 4.77 MHz clone I bought from the back of Computer Shopper magazine in the fall of 1985. I loved the flip-top case. I separately bought a 20 MB Seagate (a ST-225 I believe).
I hadn't bought MS-DOS so all I had to boot it with was a boot disk with a couple of system utilities and a copy of Rogue on it. I bought the Mix C compiler and used COPY CON FILE.EXT to write a line-based text editor by copying chunks of code from the console to files, then concatenating them into a single file and compiling it. Once I had a version where I could insert and delete full lines I used it to write better versions of itself.
A few months after that I went ahead and bought MS-DOS and started using PC-Write, though I never registered my copy because $75 was a lot of money. Much later (1989 or 1990) I bought a copy. (According to Wikipedia Quicksoft went out of business in 1993.)
Oh my... Mix is still in business and you can still buy DOS 2.0 C compilers...
