Apple
One of the original personal computer companies.
They have never took the market by storm but have kept a fairly
consistent market share. They have a great operating system and
cool hardware but can never seem to break into corporate America. |

Dell
What a success story this company is! My dad bought
a Dell about 4 years ago and loves it. He wouldn't buy anything but a
Dell now. |
Gateway
My favorite PC company. They make great systems at a
reasonable price. I have been using Gateway PC's at my places of
employment since 1994 and have been very pleased. |
IBM
Good old IBM. They started this whole PC
thing back in the early 80's but have largely missed the PC boat
during the 90's. I keep hoping that they will get things turned
around but am starting to lose faith in this. |
Microsoft
I'm not a huge fan of this company, but anytime you
mention personal computers you must talk about Microsoft. There are
some products that they make which are quite good, FrontPage, Internet
Explorer, etc. |
Netscape
Netscape has a decent browser and I am very excited
about Netscape 6 which is currently in beta. Hopefully they will make
the browser easier to use and improve upon their email client. |
Novell
I love their network operating system. It is
generally very stable and their directory services are great. Too bad
they can't market their way out of a paper bag!! I'm hoping Eric
Schmidt can get the company turned around and headed in the right
direction. He's done well so far but I can only hope he continues to
turn the company around. |
