Is it time again for our weekly semantics game already? OK!

Personal Computer: a computer small enough for one person to easily
transport, cheap enough for one person to easily afford, and simple enough
for one person to operate (i.e., interactive). The first personal
computer was Edmund Berkeley's GENIAC from around 1955.
