Oh yeah! :-) Well PC != IBM. PC stands for Personal Computer. Apple, TI,
Atari, C64, etc. are all PCs. So if we're talking semantics, you should
refer to them like I do on my site -- "Intel-compatibles" or "Intels" for
short. Of course, back in the 80's, they were called "IBM-compatibles," but
in hindsight, "Intel-compatibles" is a more appropriate term.

That is exactly the answer I got from the programmer of the original
Rescue on Fractalus. And when I asked Will Harvey about the PC version
of Music Construction Set, he said "There's a PC version?" This is why
the PC versions of these programs are even more rare than the rare games
they were ported from.

You mean PC. PC != DOS. For hard-core PC collectors, this is
significant. For all you other guys, never mind ;-)
