There I agree 100%. There's a reason that IBM, Remington Rand, and
Burroughs weren't the ones who developed the first practical personal
computers.
You mean, like the IBM PC? :-)
Apple was first by about 4 years.
IBM certainly wasn't the first personal computer. Neither was Apple. As with any
"first", you have to define your terms or you get lots of different answers.
Before Apple was the Altair 8800 (1975)
Before that was the MCM/70 (1973)
Before that was the Kenbak-1 (1971)
This could go on and on...
