Oi and no one mentions the Mindset, the quintessential
"arty" computer. After all it made it's way into an
exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art ;).
Interesting internally? Not terribly save for the
custom ic's that made it the Amiga b4 the Amiga...that
demo of an eagle flapping it's wings apparently was
produced on the Mindset.
Let's be careful not to leave out some of the more
utilitarian looking items. Some find beauty in that
alone. After all, most applications of a computer
aren't actually meant to be all artsy-fartsy. It's a
tool after all, and a stout robust looking unit like
the IBM PC/AT is an eye grabber in ways of it's own.
We're just so used to looking at one...
I meant to start a thread like this some time ago,
but would have titled it something like "puters
w/aesthetic appeal". I assumed it wouldn't go over so
well :(
