Well, to be honest, no!
I have to agree. A PC is a PC no matter how it's
packaged....and therefore
pretty uninteresting.
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? Or so many other items
found in people's collections. And what exactly is the
definition of "PC". Is a Victor 9000 a "PC"? What
about a Mindset? Or even a Peanut? It isn't fair or
even logical to run down or exclude items with
significant Intel makeups simply because it's become
the dominant platform these days. Is a Lisa or a Mac
so totally interesting due to the fact that it's
captured a significantly smaller portion of the
market? What if Macs or any number of other units had
"taken over". Wouldn't we then look upon them as
disinteresting? So few have any clue as to the weirder
dual processor boxes that were offered in only in Japan.
