Every vintage computer has something interesting going for it. c64, spectrum, Atari, Unix workskations etc. Every computer BUT the 80s PC. That's a junker with no redeeming features whatsoever. The CPU was awful pre 386. The system software was abysmal from interaction to implementation. The video hardware throughput was awful pre VLB. Anyone that was a PC enthusiast in the mid 80s must have been clinically insane. Every single system out there smoked it, including the 8 bits.
