They are not only wrong, but rather vague! But for their list of the top 5
collectible computers, take a look at:

For those of you using real browsers that can't view the video, they are:
1 - Apple I
2 - Altair
3 - Apple Lisa
4 - Xerox Alto
5 - Commodore 64

Nice.
They used two images from my site and didn't even have the courtesy to ask.

Of course, the list is crap too. . . but who asked me. :)

CNet is notorious for skimming materials from sites without permission

I don't see how you can say that they're wrong. It's *CNET*s top 5.
Just like Bill or Joe's Top 5. Ie, the 5 machines that the people at

that I find are more collectable - Soviet clones.
