| 481253 | 2006-08-29 23:02:00 | The PC has just turned 25. PC World celebrates with a face-off list pitting the best computers of the 80s and 90s against today's beasts. Now screening here (pcworld.co.nz). | Chris Keall (10417) | ||
| 481254 | 2006-08-29 23:13:00 | Wot a kewl article! | Greg (193) | ||
| 481255 | 2006-08-30 01:12:00 | Out of that list there is only two that I remember using the Apple PowerBook 100 (1991) & Apple Macintosh Plus (1986). | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 481256 | 2006-08-30 01:42:00 | I still have a fully working Toshiba T1000 laptop from 1987... | godfather (25) | ||
| 481257 | 2006-08-30 02:06:00 | Agree with the top 5 with the exception of the IBM Thinkpad, sure it might have been innovative, but i wouldnt have said it was the 5th greatest PC of all time. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 481258 | 2006-08-30 02:34:00 | Where is the screen on some of them? | Fishy (10540) | ||
| 481259 | 2006-08-30 03:17:00 | Where is the screen on some of them? No, didn't have screens. In that era they all learned to touch type :thumbs: |

| 481260 | 2006-08-30 03:19:00 | No, didn't have screens. In that era they all learned to touch type :thumbs: So they are essentially typewriters? Because they did nothing but type documents right? The first time I used a computer was in 2000 |

| 481261 | 2006-08-30 04:32:00 | No, Shortcircuit is joking. Just like many desktops still do today, they didn't come with a monitor, you had to buy one separately. :) I definitely agree with the number one spot. I've got an Apple IIc (which is slightly newer) and it is definitely worthy of such a ranking (you may be interested to know it could run a flight simulator Fishy - although back then a simulator consisted of lots of green lines). :p |

| 481262 | 2006-08-30 05:18:00 | ... with the exception of the IBM Thinkpad, ... I disagree. After giving my CEO one these in 1992, I am still impressed by the build quality of them now. My next PC will be a Thinkpad, I have decided. I will get it with the 5-year warranty that is still available, through the right channels. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
