So back in 2010 I created a retro cool wall, and looking at it, I think there’s a few things I’d change.

Now remember… it’s how COOL they were, not how useful, or powerful. The Plus/4 is a great little machine, but I’m not gonna pretend its cool. It’s also interesting that although machines like the Amiga 4000 are massively expensive now, they’ve become hugely desirable items, so have jumped up the list.

So… here we go, an updated “cool wall”! Do you agree? What would you change?
