Another one, fairly common in late Soviet and very early 1990s Estonia (pronounced "Yuku"): https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juku_(arvuti)

It was often ridiculed by posh youngsters who already had their hands on a 386, though. :)

I remember a time in Moscow in the early nineties when guys would wear their PC keys on their neck chain. Partly for status and partly to lock up their secrets?

  Haha, this is really cool. I would guess this had to be 99% status and 1% secrets, at least for younger guys. Or, did the keys and physical computer locks really make sense for high-end industry professionals?
  I think our first 386 also had a physical lock, but since I was a kid back then, I don't remember having ever seen anybody actually using a lock like this anywhere. But ours was a tiny province town in almost-rural Estonia, so there were no real industry-level secrets anyhow.
