Subject: What's the oldest chess computer/program you own?

I'm just interested in hearing about what other people here have in the way of
pre historic chess computers?  Also, do you have any photos, screen shots or
games that you can show me?   The oldest I have is Intellivision chess from
1981.  It's not a strong chess player but was probably considered fairly good
back in those days.  One thing it lacks is an opening book!  It has to think
before making it's first move.

Here are two screen shots from Intellivision chess...

And here is what Fritz 4 did to it today...
