Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through?
Alright, here's my fully qualified claim:
I am the owner of the oldest known to the vintage computer collecting community, operational, production Macintosh.
So: We know there are pre-production ones still in existence (I have seen one,) we know that there were at bare minimum 106 produced before mine (likely more, since, as Mac128 says, it would have been insane to start production the week between Christmas and New Years,) and we can reasonably believe that there are earlier ones still in existence in the hands of people who aren't a part of the "vintage computer collecting community", therefore they have never put their serial number online anywhere. I also added the "operational" descriptor, to be another hurdle to overcome. (Also, as I have said, mine had its motherboard swapped with one of the motherboards that was produced to be either a 128 or a 512 motherboard, one specifically as a 512. That means mine is no longer 'stock', and there are people who assuredly have motherboards older than mine. Everything else in my setup is from late Dec '83 or early Jan '84, though. Mouse, keyboard, keypad, external floppy, and even serial cable.)
