In case you didn't see it on the website: 40 years ago today (August 12, 1981) IBM released the IBM Personal Computer 5150. This was the first IBM “PC” and became the basis for all PCs today.
*There were other “personal computers” before this, such as the ever-popular Apple II or Commodore personal computers. “Personal Computer” was what you called a computer that would fit on a desk and you could take home with you. It was a personal computer. And most importantly: IBM released PC DOS 1.0 with the IBM PC, so today also marks the 40th anniversary of the DOS operating system!
