Everyone have a good points but don't forget that "Personal Computer"
is just that genernalization! :-)

This is overworked term and it's meaning is getting fuzzier with
every year because one can own a $10K or a 5 cent computer or
mutiples of it by one owner.

But really whole thing about real meaning behind "PC", the breaking
of dam to masses owning them was passing thru $3K, 2K and sub 1K,
YUK!

I don't refer to "PC" much these days, I call them computers,
machine(s), and model numbers, x86 etc.
