Dude, I had no idea such a thing existed until I saw your pages / posts on all the wacky Ys stuff. But, honestly, I don't remember seeing Ys for IIgs on your pages! More info please :)

You're right. My website is directed at the more obscure Ys stuff, I will make a page for the Apple IIgs version ASAP! (The site desperately needed an update anyway).

Anyone who didn't vote for the Apple III is clearly a chode.

Why has the Pippen been added to the list?  It is not a home computer, but rather a piss-poor attempt at a console.  Removed.

So where is the Mac Mini? The Macintosh Pro?

How about the 20th Anniversary Macintosh?

What the hell is the Mac Pro?  Do you mean the Intel Mac which is a tower?  If so, it's there.  I agree I forgot the Mac Mini.  I'll add it.  20th anniversary doesn't count because I say so.

OK, I see it listed as "Mac Tower Duo" or whatever you've got there. Guess I missed it-- it's official name actually is Macintosh Pro.

No 20th Anniversary? Awww, but Seinfeld had one in his apartment during one season of the show...  :(

What about the Plus? You can't discount the Plus! The Plus had the longest production run of any Macintosh model.

And the SE/30? Despite having a similar name and case to the SE, inside, the SE/30 was nearly 100% different. The most powerful of the B&W Macs, the SE/30 was essentially a Macintosh II all-in-one with black and white video. You could even install a color video card and get high resolution color on an external monitor, and greyscale on the internal screen!

And finally..... What about the Apple I?

In all seriousness, I voted for the Apple II series. This line of computers, while each model was drastically different, revolutionized the PC industry.

Rachel: Ross, I don't, I just don't think it's going to fit.
Ross: Oh yeah it will! Come on, up! Up-up-up! Up! Yes! Here we go! Pivot! (They start up the stairs again. Chandler is between the couch and the wall now.) Pivot! Piv-ot! Piv-et!! Piv-ett!!! Piv-et!
Chandler: Shut up! Shut up! Shut-up!!

Puppin is still on the list.

Clearly any machine that can play the original Oregon Trail is the best.  Why is this thread still alive??

I'm going hunting.  Too bad my sorry pioneering ass can only lug 100 pounds of bear meat.

Bjork pwns.

Also, the Pippin was a consolized Mac, it could still run some Mac software, so PUT IT BACK, DAMNIT! :)
