I had seen a few lists where the Amiga came around the middle. Good to see the 64 at one.

"Only"?

Amiga 500 was introduced late 80s, in 1987 and lasted only few years. Machines ahead Amiga 500 were 8-bit machines introduced late 70s/early 80s.

Another badly researched article.  Couldn't trust it as far as you could kick it.
Quote: "In 1977, the same year Sinclair released the $100 Timex Sinclair 1000, Apple released the Apple II"  
If the Timex Sinclair was a re-marketing in the US of the ZX81 (released in 1981) How did they get it to go back in time to 1977 ?

1981-1984 were the 8 Bit boom years..

iPhone would probably be the most popular computer sold yeah?
