Personal computer: Any computer owned by a single individual rather than a
corporation or government entity. Alternately any computer with a low enough
aquisition and operation cost to BE owned by an individual. This fits this
group best, since especially the mini and mainframe collectors
have such animals as their "personal computers".
The semantics become simple.
"What is this cray 1 you have in the basement?"
"It's my personal computer."
The fact that they're also supers, mainframes, minis, or micros becomes
irrelivant.
