It was thus said that the Great Sam Ismail once stated:
I think in 10 years there probably will be no memorable classic
computers worth collecting from the 90s. MAYBE the Mac portable, and I
can't think of anything else right off hand. There is just going to be
this hideous montage of various IBM PC clones by different manufacturers
or just run-of-the-mill computer shop PCs. Bleah! Long live the
thriving micro-computer revolution of the 70s and 80s!
Don't be too sure about that. There will be some - The Amigas after
Commodore died. The BeBox. Certain workstations. Also, don't forget PDAs,
which came unto their own this decade (like the Newton, Zeus, Pilot, etc).
