That's exactly how I've viewed it as well. When I told people that
my personal computer was a pdp-11/93 or a uVax system, they generally
balked at the idea, though. I've had to remind them that it is a
computer (that's never in question), and that I own it and use it.
Hence a *personal* computer... And although I didn't have one back
when the Imsai became available, I did get my first one (an 11/10)
in 1980.
