The 25 Greatest PCs of All Time

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the where's-my-compaq dept.

theodp writes "As the IBM PC turns 25, the editors of PC World present their list of The 25 Greatest PCs of All Time (IBM & others) and the rationale behind their picks. What, no IMSAI 8080?" And my favorite compaq luggable is missing too. Clearly this subjective and arbitrary list is subjective and arbitrary!

    If they wanted to glorify Commodore in this list, a better representation might have been the Pet. That was probably the pinnacle of Commodore's technological achievements.
    Nah, the pinnacle was clearly the 64. The PET didn't do anything.

    What about the Macintosh? The first time I saw one I completely forgot why I was at this chicks house and spent the whole night playing on her brothers computer(instead of playing on her bed). If it could take my mind off breasts(hers were amazing) it could do anything.

    Fine, fine machines those Packard Bells were. And by 'fine' I mean 'train wreck'.
