25 Greatest PCs of all time - Yes, Amiga made the list!

[Hyperspeed]

Oh, for crying out loud...

The Amiga ranks 7th on the list of 25?

And what is an IBM ThinkPad and Sony Vaio doing in there? Hey, why not put in a photo booth and a cash machine while you're at it!

Just out of curio... does anyone have at hand the sales figures for each Amiga model? I'm curious as to why the C=64 sold 20m+ and the Amiga range only 6m...

:inquisitive:

I feel a tad left out when people talk of the Commodore 64. I had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 128k and found it quite unreliable (maybe the tape head was wonky), but I did love it.

Wasn't the Spectrum more popular than the C=64 in the UK?

I remember being amazed at a friend's C=64 in that it had a keyboard and a cartridge slot just like my Master System. It could also use tapes and disks.

When it comes to 'revolution' though, doesn't this imply the masses? The A500 would have started the momento in the Amiga revolution but the A1000 was 'pioneering'. I don't personally like the idea of 256k RAM and loading Kickstart off floppies but if I had an A1000 in '85 I would have been a happy child.

What... like the Atari Portfolio in Terminator 2?

:-D

Think 1980. A Pocket computer when there weren't many desktop computers.
The Portfolio was kinda neat but came 9 years later.

Just what use could you have for a tiny machine with 1.5k of RAM and a 24 character display?

I thought the Atari Portfolio was basic but these old Radio Shack things take the biscuit!

How did they interface with reality? They're a bit like the moles of the computing world!

:lol:
