The Macintosh is a Personal Computer.
(Apple made the concept of a Personal Computer commercially successful.)
IBM, fearing the dominance of Apple, introduced an IBM Personal Computer.
Ever since the IBM Personal Computer, there has existed a confusion of nomenclature.
"PC" is often used to refer to IBM compatible machines (excluding Macs).
However, "PC" also is often (less often) used to refer to any and all Personal Computers, including Macs.
