Who in this forum owns the earliest machine among us?

My earliest cube SN is AAK0001144.

I've got 7, 51, and 495 (regular AAK numbers) and Prototype 106.

The highest cube I have is 18665.

I bet that whoever it is that has the 'Personal Mainframe' probably wins for oldest cube.

How can you tell it is a proto? Is the number 106 written diferently than the AAK numbers?

Hahahahaha :D  Photos, photos, please! :)


@korneluk:

Pergamon has one of the most impressive collection of low serial numbered cubes, so I think he technically wins, since his cubes have serial numbers, and mine doesn't :)

Mine says Personal Mainframe instead of having a serial number, which as far as I know was called as such at NeXT (an inside joke of sorts), before any machines were put into production, because it was such a powerful machine at the time, it was as if one had a personal mainframe. I have only seen one more photo or set of photos of another Personal Mainframe. I posted photos of mine here: http://www.nextcomputers.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=664

@Pergamon:

Tell us more about the "Prototype 106" cube. Does it have that designation instead of serial number or none at all? Anything else that's interesting?
