Here's the first draft at a list of the Top 150
Collectible Microcomputers
(from the U.S.A.). I would have gone for Top 100 but there are just too
many great machines, and 200 is too many.
It's currently at 133 items. Some related models are combined as one, even
though they are rather different... other similar models are kept separate.
This is basically just because I personally feel they rate their own
separate listing, feel free to disagree.
Good list but definitely flame-bait. :^)
One glaring ommission is Grid. Eminently collectable.
I would have included the Atari XEs as Atari XL/XE.
Also the Atari Stacy was the travelling musicians favorite
and is still hard to come by and retains its' price level very well.
The laptops are under-represented. As well as the Grid and STacy the
Epson QX20, Zenith Sportster and Nec Multispeed come to mind.
The Tandy 1000/2000's would be on some collectors lists.
The Hyperion and Icon are highly collectable but I think they were made in
Canada.
