Hi,
26 years after *it's* inception, I guess
that's often
the consensus. But what was so *interesting* about a
TRS-80 model 1 for that matter?
The fact that it's "different/unique", which is probably true of the
majority of interesting machines in most people's collections.
The problem with PCs/clones, for me at least, is that they're all pretty
much the same - seen one, seen them all....
....And what exactly is the definition of
"PC"....
I think it was pretty clear that the OP and I were using "PC" to refer to
the IBM PC and it's clones.
....What if Macs or any number of other units had
"taken
over". Wouldn't we then look upon them as disinteresting?
Well, quite frankly, yes.
One of the main reasons I collect computers is to learn about about
different architectures and operating systems, etc. There's nothing
different or interesting about the umpteenth identical PC clone....
