Please choose one option, if your favorite is not in here, please choose the best in your opinion from the list.
For me it was a toss up with apple, commodore and atari, and atari won cause of the Falcon and the ST's. I'll give IBM plenty of points, but if it weren't for the competetion that my Big Three gave them they may have done things differently.Erik said:An interesting question, but since you said "of all time" I have to vote IBM. From the 1880 census on forward they have been a dominant player often setting the pace in information technology. Nobody else can lay that claim.

I could only choose 10 brands(10 poll options), and Amstrad was not popular enough to be in the list.CP/M User said:alexkerhead wrote:

I'd have to say my ol' faitful Amstrad - though I'm appauled
you've got IBM, Atari/Inforgrammes & Commodore in your list &
left Amstrad off - the only thing I could list there is an
Texas Instruments (I like their 99/4a machine).

Perhaps the results are somewhat bias - well it's guess it's
not as bad as running your favourite machine studies on a site
which is purely based around a particular.
Amstrad were perhaps better known for their PCW based machines
in the US, CPCs were produced there - which is where the
problem is. I mean to run a survey about any machine could be
a big problem because in different parts of the world -
slightly different machines are found.
I don't see Atari as popular -anymore-. I'm heading this
boycott due to their treatment towards myself & their machines
as well as their honesty to do business.

Being honestly unbaised, that applies worldwide, but BBCs, RISC-PCs, Archimedes and Electrons have a huge following in the UK.just like Acorn Computers, they made tons of units, but they left no legacy and have little fan following.
