I can understand the Apple II as Apple sold millions of them to Schools and homes all over North America. It was the first afordable real computer to hit the market that schools could use for teaching computers on (it was my first computer to learn on)
I'm surprised that only the A1000 made the list.

Don't bother, every year there is a so called "specialist" that decides the top XX of computers of the last XX years.   :)

I frankly don't pay attention anymore to those articles.

No mention of an Acorn anywhere. Is that PC world site a US one?

Intresting to see this statment:

"7 Amiga: Did multimedia tricks in 1985 that today's PCs still can't do.
8 Commodore 64: Possibly the most beloved computer of all time."

must be, as the Speccy, and ZXes werent mentioned either. nor was the Beeb.

oh - and no mention of the Amiga500 either - surely more important even than the 1000 ? it was (cheaper and sold far more)
