For me, a personal computer is defined as any computer that I own and
operate. If I could find a SYS/360 or SYS370, or Sigma/7 or Sigma/9 or
a CDC 7600/6600/etc or a DPS/9, or ... ( well, you get the idea), I would
consider such a computer a personal computer. Any body know where
I can get one of these behemoths?
