Did people actually own an Atari St? Wow, that's so strange, never even thought to add that one on there. Apologies to the 1 ST owner out there, I'll try to re-post so you can put your 1 vote in there.

apparently it sold over 4 million units... which, even to an amiga owner, is more than one!!

in fairness, the amiga outsold it 1.5:1. so the amiga could be likened to "popular" chart music versus the st's underground techno feel!

Well, popular or not it was my favourite car boot at 6.30 on a Sunday morning that won me over. Being able to get that copy of superfrog or gods, weeks before anybody else!
