Antikythera mechanism, truly useless by today's standards!

Dang, I was hoping for more discussion.

I've heard Packard Bells are pretty awful. Anybody know if this is true?

If you want more discussion, start the discussion in the OP. "Discuss" will generally not cut it.

That and the Amiga is the clear cut vintage winner, so there isn't much left to argue about.

Pretty much, though you might encounter some Commodore nostalgia too.


Given that modern computers are less proprietary systems and more either:
1. a collection of components, or
2. a collection of second rate components that are packaged with tech support,

then I'd say there is no definitive, best, modern computer. Excepting maybe a Mac, if you orient that way.

My computer is the best computer because my computer has my stuff on it and my stuff is the best stuff.
