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.
Speak for yourself, buckshot! ;^>
I can think of one *very collectible* system that was produced into the
90's: Try a Tandy Color Computer 3. They were produced into 1991/92, if
memory serves. Yes, an 8-bit machine that actually had viability (and
profitability) into the 90's!
BTW, the CoCo series has the distinction of having the longest production
time of any 8-bit system, and I think of any non IBM/Mac system.
Anyway, that's just my $0.000002 (and that's all it's worth!) ;-)
Thanks,
