What? Not even one compaq made the list? I used to live by the saying that "Friends don't let friends by Compaq's" I am talking about when they used to use the Quantum BigFoot (5 1/4) drives and they were near impossible to work on and almost every part was propietary even down to the ram.

No list can possibly be complete without compaq's.

So true... I had a Compaq that I replaced everything on in a 1 year peiod, and it still came up with random reboots, errors, etc. I was getting a live chicken readied, when the owner went out and bought a new computer and asked me to put a few rounds through the Compaq.

Shhhh! Don't let Matridom hear you say that!

Agreed with the lack of Compaqs.

Those bigfoot drives that sounded like a jet engine winding up and the slot feed CDroms that always jammed. Yikes

HEHEHEH he said "lately"

Heh, heh....

They have no AST PCs or servers on the list. Live in fear of the AST Manhattan.

And then there is western Canada's very own entry, Seanix. Only blissful ignorance on the part of the list compiler could have excluded them from a rightful position in the top five.

It's got to be broken.

I'm surprised that Amstrad didn't make the list too...
And my all time PB competitor would be Medion.... they have picked up where even PB won't go!

I dont wanna sound stupid but i didnt know there was an APPLE 3!!

I used an Apple and an Apple IIe in school but i didnt ever see a 3!! (They must not have been very popular)

I love the original Apples...... I started programming in basic on them and then when i got my commodore 64 I WAS REALLY INTO IT!!

I have written many programs on the 64,i love it!!! (Use it often)

Ah the good days

Well thank you for that buddy

Hmmmmmm I think my favourite apple is a 2,or 2E..

**Stalemate** · October 24th, 2011, 11:41 AM

Ah, the good old days when Apple's "Think Different" ruled.

Now, it's more akin to "Think as we tell you too".

I loved my Apple IIc, with the color monitor, spent 2 years saving up as a teen so I could buy a computer, and this was "it" back then for semi-portables.
