I'm a diehard Microsoftie. I worship at the altar of Bill Gates.

That said, my platinum colored Apple IIe (released in about 1988-89) was the most fun I ever had with a computer.

It had the best feeling keyboard of any keyboard I've ever used, and I expanded the hell out of that thing.

I often told my friend, a Mac devotee, that I would find one of those Apple IIe cases and pay somebody to put an Intel-based board in it.

He cringes. :)

I think Apple just did pretty much what you asked.

I vote Lisa ,Apple /// and that idiotic flower iMac as the REAL bad ones. I have IIe,IIc,several PBs,Quadras,PM6 and 7xxxs ,G3blue and all-in-one,IMacs and my rack of evil Pentiums as well.Always priced too high though. Some people get too excited,just like the Ford vs. Chevy arguments. (I once networked 5 IIci....what POWER!!!!)Fist internet computer was a 25mhz IIci and Netscape 3.It would still suffice for the text today but the huge graphic and videos are just too much.Well it doesn't take up much room in the garage.

This was my baby during the 1980's

I never liked Apples

The computers at my high school were brand new macs and they just sucked. Part of our final in computer class was to make an simple animation (remember this was the mid 80's, not as simple as today). I choose a shark swimming. On my PC Jr. I could do it in about 15 minutes just using the pset, line, draw, get & put statements in Qbasic. On the mac however just to do a simple image was ridiculously complex, first you had to draw the image on graph paper, then you had to do all the weird functions to draw out the image in the computer, etc. then you had to repeat all that for the other images in the animations which was real long and time consuming. I got so fed up that I actually wrote a program on my PC JR that would print out the source codes for the mac for any image you made on it and took them to school and copied it into the mac.

Actually, I liked my Pc Jr. Keyboard (Not the "Chicklet" one) because you didn't have to plug it into the computer as it was wireless. Though replacing the batteries was annoying.
