The C64 wasn't a revolution... it was an evolution of what came before it.

The Apple Mac, was a revolution in OS design.
The Amiga was an evolution of the Mac's OS (adding features like Multitasking and colour Gfx etc), but it was a revolution in Hardware... True some of the meachines listed didn't really fill this properly... but credit where credit is due!

And yes get the damn think pad out of there! WTF!!!


Hey hey! The thinkpad is actually a pretty good machine. solid construction, best keyboard you can get on a laptop etc.


You consider a "pretty good machine" with a great keyboard revolutionary?

The only other laptop brand I'd consider is Apple, but their hardware isn't what it used to be and it was never as good as the IBM.  Or toshiba at a pinch.


How is Apple's hardware not what it used to be? How is it not as good as IBM or Toshiba?

Mine's definitely not the flashest model, never was, but it's lightweight and dependable. only machine that's lasted longer is my A500!


Urg...!

Unfortunate that things like this aren't made any more. I saw a 'real' pocket PC in a store in Canada in 1997. Low-end Pentium, 16MB of RAM, Win95, and a full keyboard (can't remember if it had a numeric pad... probably not). Wouldn't win any awards for technical specifications, but it was smaller than a DVD case.
not).

PocketPCs now are significantly smaller, but they can't run the same programs as your desktop machine!


Samsung Q1


Yet another AROS capable machine... :roll:
