| subject: | Classic Computer |
The term "classic" has been bantered around quite a bit here. I would presume the term to mean computers that have special merit and have stood the test of time. I would preclude ANY IBM fully compatible computer as so many exist in all forms. What would I consider as being a "classic"? Obviously, the very first kit systems such as the IMSAI are classics and, in fact, are still being manufactured! The original TRS-80 computer has to be a classic as is the Apple ][. The original Atari 400/800 systems are classics. The Commodore 64 is definitely a classic with near-cult status. The Amiga A1000 is a classic but the A500 or later shouldn't be considered as such. The same goes for the original Mac or Lisa computers. Don't forget the mention of famous minicomputers such as the PDP series or VAX! This is only a partial listing with many more machines worth mentioning. Obviouly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
