I was just gonna say Commodore too! Because the C64 & Amiga were the greatest machines of their day (the Amiga was generations ahead).

Still have my 500 in storage somewhere. Sans disc drive though, as i took to it with a screwdriver, absolutely brimming with confidence that i could fix it. I couldnt.

IBM ThinkPad, before lenovo, ThinkPads were the only real competition to PowerBooks and Macbooks in terms of solid durable industrial design that was also highly functional (if not better with the magnesium and composite reinforced chassis). The 12 inch convertibles were seeydy as heck.

Ooh almost forgot the little lights built into the screen bezels you could switch on for night time use

EA kills good titles. I miss Earth and Beyond, and Command and Conquer that's actually good.

The two Californian men who kicked off the campaign have now gathered more than 80,000 of the promotional discs.
