OK, then how about the PET?

But I think I've got you -- the Commodore 16. This doorstop was given away 
to people who were promised a computer for listening to a spiel for 
timeshares near Brainerd, MN or something. My neighbor got one and let me 
play. Turns out it had a version of Commodore BASIC somewhere between the 
C64 and the C128 and had only 16K memory. Fun, however.

And it was a darker gray/tan.
