I owned #1, #6, and #7. Never had a problem with #1 and didn't know any better with #6 and #7.

Wang?

Not one of them. I hated my HP Pavillion, though, it sucked.

My Dell Dimension 8200 is still chugging along. It will be replaced this year at some point. Mac or Dell, still don't know that yet?

I've only had Gateways. My Gateway Desktop was purchased in 2001 and still doing well.

Hmm...I think I had a Packard Bell Legend. I think it was a 486 which seemed to be the latest thing for about 5 minutes. I wonder if that was the PC that served mainly as a paperweight after we purchased a new one? There was at least one machine that never got turned on again even though we left it on the desk.

We have an E-Machine from around 2000, I think. It's still going strong- not our main comp, but a fair backup one.

Anyone remember the TRS 80? I call it the 'Pong' of computers- it was the first one I used in college, way back in the day.

There's still a TRS-80 model I at my folks' place. They did finally unload the model III/4. My dad used to have side business selling software he'd written for the TRS-80. I think the most popular product for DMLK Enterprises was the college financial planning software - how much you'd have to put away per month to pay for your kid's education.

I think at some point, I've used every single one of those computers!

(I went to a school that didn't have a whole lot of funding, and we used really old computers from 1981 and mimeographed photocopies of tests as recently as 1993.
