Top 10 Personal Computers, Revised

Posted by michael on from the de-gustibus-non-est-disputandum dept.

rebelcool writes "Dwight Silverman of the Houston Chronicle has revised his Top 10 PCs of all time, mainly as a result of this Slashdot story. He addresses many of the replies written to him wondering why X system wasn't on the list in Y position, but also chose to replace the Apple Newton with the Amiga A1000."

  1. My List by kahei · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I must say the original article's list strikes me as very much the view of someone who doesn't particularly like or use computers, but I guess it's all a matter of opinion. Here's what I think of as a more middle-of-the-road list (in no order):

    ZX81
    Commodore 64
    TRS-80
    Amiga A500
    BBC Model B (I hated it but it was undeniably of huge importance in the uk)
    Atari 800
    Heathkit computer
    Apple II
    Palmpilot ...er...

    Sony Vaio series, symbols of the commoditization and appliance-ization of the PC.
