No mention of Tandy TRS-80 coco range of computers ? My 1st computer so I still have fond memories of it. I only had a coco1, but the coco3's were quite decent bit machines. To this day it has a bit of a user base and lots of hardware upgrades (much like many retro machines). While not the native OS, OS9 sort of became the default OS for the machine. There's even an FPGA based coco3 which Id like to get ahold of one day.

A few screenshots of Coco1 games I played as a child:  (good times :))

Some screenshots of Coco3 games (quite nice for 8bit machine in my opinion) :

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
