I must say, I've actually found this thread very interesting. It's one of
the few platform comparison discussions that isn't "My platform is great and
yours sucks and was created by incompetent low lifes."
Reasonably objective comparisons of these classic platforms, taking into
account the strengths and limitations of each, and the differences of when
they were designed (something few people seem to account for), could
actually strengthen the appreciation of all of them.
