However, PC World&#8217;s list is extra special because it covers all personal computers from <em>every manufacturer<\/em> and <em>every era<\/em>.  It&#8217;s nice to read something in the mainstream computer press about old computers that isn&#8217;t full of misunderstandings, mistakes, and misinformation.  PC World actually knows what they&#8217;re talking about in this case.  And while the list (like any &#8220;Top # List&#8221;) is far from definitive, it&#8217;s still a fun read.  So mosey on over to their site and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/id,126692\/article.html\" target=\"new\">check it out<\/a>.
