    A good representation, and I remember virtually all of them. Suspiciously missing was the Dell Optiplex GX1, a cornerstone of business around the world for years and still very functional and relevant, a claim some of those do not have!

      Hey G-MAN, could you not sense the anger from all the perceived omissions from "their" list. I do remember the Atari 600   << that was a huge seller!
      There sure were a lot of  apples in the list*. ;)

        The Commodore 64. NOT in the Top 25 ?

          I screwed up above!  I really meant to say the 64,  YOUR RIGHT*
          everyone & their brother interested at the time bought that puter.

            Could the Amiga be considered a personal computer?

              There were a LOT of models not in the top 25 on that list. No harm, no foul.  ;)

                Where is the BBC Micro?
                The IMSAI?
                The Spectrum/Timex?
                the Compaq 286?

                That list is biased. And so am I.
