I meant by the original posting to try to gather a list of firsts. Any definitions of first are acceptable and if they can be extended to familly of hardware, software, packaging gimmicks etc. is OK.
What I found interesting in the question is more in the order of finding out how long an idea has been out there and how many categories can be found. I see a lot of questions about defining such and such term I guess it is more fun to find out what YOU understand by the words OS, Personal computer, etc.

    Here's a questionthat is probably going to generate some passionate debates:
    What are the firsts?
    first video game
    first TV video game
    first personal computer (I think I know that one)
    first portable computer
    first laptop
    first GUI
    first OS
    etc...
    It would be interesting to compile a list of first with their date of appearance.
