I think "the most sold and popular computer ever produced in the world"
would be the Commodore 64. If we're talking about machines made by a
single manufacturer, anyway.
I dont' agree at all and like me all the magazines
I have don't agree
either. The fact that you don't know it dos not mean that it is not
true.
I've never, ever, EVER even come CLOSE to seeing a Sinclair Spectrum.
I've only seen pictures in magazines and on the web.
Pity: there are many other
things happening in the world, you know. I
think you should widen your horizons. Try having a look in my ite for a
start then do a little search on Sinclair and you will find at least 50
sites dedicated to the Spectrum. English is not the most widely used
language in the world either (Mandarin is). It might not be connected
but it IS relevant to the point.
I'd love to find some of those Euro machines over here in Canada. Maybe
the North American readers should try to get a group together to order
Euro machines in bulk for shipment. All of the common ones and some of
the uncommon ones. We'd need the cooperation of the collectors in Europe,
of course.
I have many for sale in my site. Have a look!
There are tons of machines from Acorn I'd love to have/see, a few from
Sinclair, Oric, etc.
They are all there! (in my site)
All I find over here are C64s, VIC-20s, Apple ][s, TI-99s, CoCos, and
occasionally a Kaypro.
If we shipped in bulk, and used actual ocean-going vessels for shipment,
how expensive would this kind of venture be?
