The nearly-forgotten pre-microprocessor Kenbak-1:
> The Kenbak-1 is considered by the Computer History Museum and the American Computer Museum[1] to be the world's first "personal computer".[2]
> It was designed and invented by John Blankenbaker of Kenbak Corporation in 1970, and was first sold in early 1971.
