I enjoy the memories this thread brings back, and the different view points that each of us had. I too had my favorites but found my self working on some strange choices. Just like today many projects that are one off the platform maybe selected for only one reason it's presence. I often would recycle obsolete but still in good shape hardware for a new task, the relative cost of hardware vs the power to run these devices has made this less practical. Many still use a desktop PC where a micro-controller would save many times the power/carbon. I think my favorite micro has to be the one that fits the task and hope I'm adaptable to make that choice.
