Don't know off-hand but it would absolutely have to have OS/2 fonts!

Peoples requirements differ so much, and the goalposts move so rapidly
it's a bit of a pointles question!
However a SPARC supercluster with 1728 cores, 13TB memory, 264TB flash
storage and 1.7PB total storage would make a good start :-)
You can buy one now if you have deep enough pockets...

	... you'll need even deeper ones for the power and air conditioning
costs. I keep looking at Cavium ThunderX and reminding myself that I have
absolutely (sorry Barb) no need for that much processing power. In truth
for some time now I've been going for reduced power consumption rather than
performance improvement.

	The Atoms are likely to get replaced by ARMs in due course (the
combination of on Odroid C2 and a 4K TV is tempting as a workstation, first
I have to talk TPTB into letting me have the 4K TV) - the last one to go
will probably be the NAS - I'm not running ZFS in 2GB of RAM, nor will I
run a NAS without native SATA or better yet SAS.

Me too.  I run 3 Pis and my next computer will probably be a Gigabyte
Brix wich are small enough to attach to the back of the monitor and
are quite cheap.

I'm pretty happy with the computers we have right now. With a choice of
Linux or one of the BSDs and plenty of excellent software with any of
them, I'm just thrilled with the things I can do with a computer.

I suspect that I too will be moving to several small computers running
ARM or perhaps Atom CPUs. They're powerful enough to work in most cases
as a general-purpose computer, plus they're small enough and inexpensive
enough that I can dedicate them to specialized uses if I want to.

Powerful computers are getting still smaller & more encapsulated – now 
there's a single-chip computer that's most of a BeagleBone on a chip:
  
  http://hackaday.com/2016/05/10/new-part-day-a-beaglebone-on-a-chip/

And that really is pretty much the entire system:

  "Octavo’s new System in Package is the OSD335x family, featuring a
   Texas Instruments AM335x ARM Cortex A8 CPU, up to 1GB of DDR3, and 
   peripherals that include 114 GPIOs, 6 UARTs, 2 SPIs, 2 I2Cs,
   2x Gigabit Ethernet, and USB.

   The chips used in commercially available single board computers like 
   the Pi and BeagleBone have hundreds of passive components sprinkled 
   around the board. This makes designing one of these single board 
   computers challenging, to say nothing about actually assembling the 
   thing. Octavo is baking a bunch of these resistors, capacitors, and 
   inductors right into this chip, allowing for extremely minimal
   boards running Linux. [Jason Kridner] – the BeagleBone guy – is
   working on a PocketBone, a full-fledged Linux computer that will fit
   inside an Altoids tin."

Agree!

I will probably install a truckload of small arduinos and rpis the next
year. Am working on large scale provisioning of them right now.

That's a proper use of the word; I'm not offended.  :-)

     What about the HAL 9000?  That would make a good ultimate (last)
computer.  But, maybe, the bugs have been corrected by now.

HAL Computer Systems
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAL_Computer_Systems

Was head of workstation IBU (pc/rt & rs/6000) but had some unflattering
words to say to IBM senior VP about being directed to not develope our
own adapter cards ... but forced to use PS2 cards. Folklore is that
eventually led to his departure from IBM .... and later forming HAL.
HAL started out being H&L ... for the two founders. "L" was employed at
a major silicon valley company and when the H&L plans became known, he
was threatened with legal action and dropped out of the effort.

I've told story about the PS2 16mbit T/R microchannel card (that RS/6000
was directed to use) had lower per card throughput that the customer
4mbit T/R PC/AT bus card done for the PC/RT. The other PS2 microchannel
cards had similar short comings (observation that if the RS/6000s were
forced to use all PS2 microchannel, the RS/6000 throughput wouldn't be
any better than PS2). misc. past posts mentioning ROMP, RIOS, PC/RT,
RS/6000, power/pc

	Hmph, a pocket calculator. I'll go for the Universal AC, the one
that answered the final question.

As long as you don't put in in charge of running your life support it 
should be fine.

I'm thinking of getting a quad core running at about 3GHz, with 8gigs of 
RAM.  That should be fairly long lasting, considering I do okay with a 
3GHz single core and 2gigs of ram right now.

But buying refurbished, as I said elsewhere, means getting more space for 
expansion, and hopefully a serial and parallel port, things that are 
getting dropped as computers shrink to smaller packages.

Exactly like this one, but connected to a better, more grass roots-y

But "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was just a novel (and a radio play, 
and a miniseries, and a movie), it didn't really happen. Thus, the fact that 
the Earth was a greater computer than Deep Thought, which was itself a greater 
computer than various other contenders for the title, such as the Milliard 
Gargantubrain, in the fictional universe of that novel means nothing in so far 
as the real existence of an ultimate computer is concerned.
